Aw, c'mon, Rob. How about just take a break until you get the desire to start back into your Mopar addiction! Seriously, I hear what your sayin, but maybe you could thin out the herd just a little, then it won't seem overwhelming.

Fwiw, the help you have provided here on this site has been excellent, and much appreciated. I don't know much about your situation, but a while back you offered to tackle some carb rebuilding for members of this forum at a very reasonable price. Can we get that going again? It might help a little with the budget(?)

Agree with both areas.

As I age, I find that just because I CAN (or could) do something doesn't mean I want to or enjoy doing it any more.

Within the past 2 months, I've come to the conclusion that both my 73 and 74 cars are parts cars. Could I fix the 73- probably, but the time involved is ridiculous, and the result would not recapture the value.

I'm still on the fence about the 72.

So now, my goal is to strip off a load of parts to take to Don Garlits, and clear out room so I can either part out more cars or get going on my 66.

I also find I sometimes have to find a finite block of time and or set a fairly small goal for myself in a given time period. Yesterday it was "remove front bumper" That's it, just that one thing. I did have an optional, secondary objective of "remove instrument cluster, of which I managed to get about 2/3 of the trim off and a few more screws out.

I'd say focus on one vehicle, perhaps the one with the least to be done, and get some "easy victories".

I know you had at least one carb job. Get any more?
