I think interest in the kind of cars I'm selling has sailed and I will be force to sell them at giveaway prices.

It's funny. I'm about two months away from finishing my '28 AV8 on '32 rails. The car will be a knock out with mostly original paint on the body and some killer patina.
I've stopped adding up the receipts on this build for I truly don't want to know. I could have bought a similar car that was done for much less, but I didn't. Unless you don't charge the hours you but into a build, you'll come out ahead, but time is money. Doesn't matter if you paid someone to do it or you did it yourself. Someone put time in and that time is valuable.
I will have a very cool car that is done exactly how I want it to be done and I will have an monster of an engine (297 c.i.) built exactly as I want.
I just hope my son's like the choices I've made when it becomes theirs or a potential buyer likes the way it was done too down the road if they pass on it. Haha.
