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

IMO, it's all about building the truck but not building yourself into a hole if that makes sense. Buy it cheap, make it look appealing.. Do it right (not saying cut corners) but watch the budget to the point you dont put more into it than it would be worth to someone else. If you plan to keep it, then .. well. Go for it. But if there's an 'itch to build again you have to be careful where you put the money. The right money in the right places will bring a profit. Having the know how and doing what you can on your own (to me) is more valuable than having a fat checkbook to pay someone else to do it.

Just my .02 Watch what you spend, absolutely but watch where you spend it is equally important.
