Re: Restoration insanity

I just do it, no real thought required. It's just what I do. I've always done it even when I had no one to share in my interest, like here. I don't care about time. This isn't a reality show. I don't mind projects sitting or buildings full of parts. That's how my life has always been, it's all I know. I have a built engine sitting, so what? It's ready to go. For me it's about the process as much as the result, It's not a chore, I enjoy it. If you see me selling an incomplete project it's because I have become physically unable to complete it. I know if I buy parts that I don't end up using I can always sell them later, probably for more than I paid. I enjoy buying parts, the chase is part of the fun. I prefer OEM parts, for whatever reasons. I'd rather repair/restore an OEM part than buy reproduction parts, it's just my preference. Actually, I restore and sell many parts. That's what I do to stay involved when I'm unable to progress on my complete truck projects. I enjoy selling parts at swap meets. It's not just for money. It's about helping others complete their project and the social aspect.
