Stop project shopping?

It's like a giant contest to see who can be the biggest fucking nerd with the most useless info on tap. I worked with one that didn't even have an old Mopar anymore but he'd sure tell you anything you ever wanted to know about mid-late 70's malaise era Dodges at the drop of hat even if you weren't asking.

Yes. For me this is totally a desire based in the past that I feel the need to scratch I guess. When I was a kid it was before they were cool. Kinda bucks down go fast cars, even a little ratty. I recognize that you don't even see a ratty old charger with wide tires laying rubber outside the 7-11 anymore. Some boomer dude who polishes it maybe. Very few actually get driven it seems.

I am more excited about the credentials due to resale down the road. I probably won't put the fender tag back on the car. I will keep the build sheet that is in the back seat etc. for later. I really don't want to argue about which plant it was produced in etc.

A GM product with an ls3 swap with a 6-speed makes more sense. But I just kinda got to do this.
 
I have to exit this club. It's an issue, I had a built 8.1L that's more like 556 cubic inches that didn't have a home... and this is rust free and engine-less, was originally a BBC and I happen to have a nice interior for it..

Thought you were "NO MORE PROJECTS"?:lmao::lmao:

I'm bad that way, have parts and need a project to put them on. Or get a project and then get parts. It's a vicious circle.:homer:

Well, I sent that 8.1L off to Golen like 5 years ago... and he emailed me about a month ago saying it was done, but for paint, lol.

Then Giffin is out there in AZ, finding stuff like this, cheap. I already have the seats and most of the other crap. Just need to build a 6 speed Allison.

What am I supposed to do, not build it? :flipoff2:

Yeah, but you're piling up shit here! :flipoff2:

Even posford didn't want it.

I'm trying to focus on the projects I already have :flipoff2:

Day ago my buddy was telling me about the built 4.8 he has and needs to do something with. I started spiraling rattling off parts I have and how I could use that for the leaf sprung crawler I'd like to build and the wife just looks at me like "are you fuckin kidding me" :laughing:
