Have you ever lost
I have been in the hobby since early 80's and have owned a lot of Mopars. They always would come and go. Never could keep them all! I guess the "hunt" was always exciting and kept my interest up. Finding a "new" project has always been a rush!!!! (disease???). But as decent project cars get higher cost and scarcer, and good parts hard to find, and new parts crap from China.... hard to stay as motivated and then as I age, you know!!!!
What has always helped me keep interested, is just the fact that no matter how small a job I complete on the project, I get a super big sense of accomplishment. When I think about it, pretty strange.
