Re: How do you afford it?

Hmmm..money for my truck..well its anything thats left over after all the priorities are paid...and lately that hasnt been much. Plus the fact that I seem to keep buying "projects" that I can't seem to pass up. (latest is a 63 Biscayne).

I look at it this way...I do what I can, when I can. Try to find parts cheap..swap meets..ect. I cant afford to just buy a truck and then throw $20-30K at it..and be done...so for me, part of the enjoyment is doing most (if not all) of the work myself!! (saves a lot of money).

I figure, if I hold on the my "projects" till I'm old enough to retire and really work on them...so be it! After all..they don't make em like that anymore. Just keep em from rusting...lol.
