Have you ever lost

I guess I'm at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to this topic. ( very nice wagon BTW !!)

I've had my Cuda for years (my first car actually) and could never afford to do it the way I wanted so it got stored.

Years of going to Car shows, my buddies garages and drooling over their cars but never able to drive my own hotrod because I couldn't afford it.

The only thing I could do was keep collecting parts and read magazines until I had the funds to finish it.

Reading about the great cars on here plus the pics and resto projects just drove the knife in farther and would get me depressed as hell.

Then life changed financially in my favor and I swore that I would finish my car the way I wanted it.

Finally, in 2018 my car was done with a lot of help and encouragement from this site and the talents of an old friend from my teen years who actually was the first person to show me the car.

I'm loving every minute of it and am driving the car at every chance I get. Nothing beats the feeling of a 1-2 powershift with a 408 in the car and no matter what kind of shitty day I've had it gets me smiling and happy again.

I'm 67 years old and don't know how much time I've got but I don't want to be 75 and say "I wish I had driven the car more when I was able' .

Here's day one after the car was finished. Excited does not come close to describe how I felt!!

Still get the same feeling every time I drive it.
