So last weekend I met with estate executor (friend of family) that was executor of an estate...the estate was a person that was a car enthusiasts and restorer. He had collected 3x 57 trucks and tore them down to base parts for future restoring.

In short, I now own 3x cabs, beds, front and rear fenders, doors, chrome sets, 5x hoods 2x frames. I have one full set of glass. 3x bumpers. 4x instrument clusters, 4x door panels, various other parts, cans of bolts and other parts.

I paid about $5k. I am now wondering if I paid too much. These are far north california trucks, have surface rust only, one cab is wrap back glass, other two are simple small back glass.

No idea if and when I will have time to work on this...a little buyers remorse I think...

Thoughts? Bad deal?
