Re: My costs to get the '69 "Right and Reliable"

I''m right there with all of you, I know it is an expensive past time. I do enjoy doing it, and will build more.

Now on the part about putting more in it than it's worth, that is so true. But what just bumfuzzels the heck out of me is I have seen to many threads about so called low mileage survivors, and of course some of them had the patina thing going on with them. And some of them are so plain jane (that I fall asleep just looking at them), no power nothing, bottom of the line trucks that people will buy outright for way to much money. What gives with that? They are buying a truck that IMO will need a whole lot of money thrown at them to make them reliable drivers, instead of going out and finding one already on the road to recovery that someone has done all the hard work on and what is left is the easy part.
