Flip job!

This is the problem. The initial buy in is stupid high. No reason for it. Inflation has very little to do with mopar costs these days. It's mostly the " magic mopar inflation"(iditot who paid too much and wants it all back),greedy middle men who should probably go get an honest job,and parts hoarders who are holding out for 2006 prices that have caused it.

Exactly. I found a project car that I was real interested. non # 340 Dart Sport. Needs a full resto but its 98% rust free, very complete (all the hard to find stuff is there) and its local but the $4500 buy in is just to much for me for a car that I cant drive till I go through it all.
