Thinking of giving it up (a bit of a rant)
So far us older guys seem to be doing it both ways, the old way and the new. Cosgig and I spent the whole day friday in a new to us junkyard doing what we have always done, taking parts off old Mopars and looking at all the other old iron there. If the OP is tired of the hobby then maybe its time to move on. Thats not my advice just an observation as many get tired of the chase and never recover that enthusiasm and get kind of an attitude about their old car just sitting there. Many if not all of you have given great advice and I would say look at where your project is,assess what it might take to get it road worthy and focus on that. You dont have to have a show car to enjoy it. Dont get discouraged by the lack of yards in your area, thats just the times changing, but rather be glad that others still have that luxury and are willing to help you out with parts and shipping. And if you decide to get out nobody is going to fault you for making a decision that benefits you and your life!! Good luck with it!!
