James' 68 cuda fastback for sale...

I know exactly what your going through but I gotta say listen to Ben. You should hold out just for a little bit and go on the cruise and take a look at the other guys cars like Steves cuda. By the time I was your age I had already bought and sold ten cars for countless reasons. And a few of them I definitely regret. I think that is one sweet ride and you are well on your way to getting it done. hell my current project is going on 5 years! If I was still in the bay area id help you out. If you do get the fire re-lit see if any of the local guys can give you a hand. that always helped me keep motivated.
