Pogogas/Lance.....You are right, i should be more optimistic. Right now i am building a 32 Ford 5-window coupe for a man. I am astonished at what he has invested in this car and i am still in the mock up stages. (check my website for pics,
http://www.freewebs.com/methvinracing/index.htm) I have been building cars all my life and back 20 some years ago a fella could hunt around, hit swap meets and such to get good deals (get lucky). Today, not so. The last few swap meets i went to they were insane on their pricing. Take a look at
www.oldride.com and tell me how an average income man with a wife and 2 kids can afford such a luxury as a rod today. These cars are not worth what people are trying to sell them for. 40-50K for a 32 Ford??? Come on, that is half what i paid for my house for crying out loud. Guys, don't misunderstand me, i am not griping i am just pointing out something. I love street rodding more than anyone alive. It just gets a bit discouraging to want one for myself and yet the pricing is so far out of reach. I am sorry for getting of the topic of this post. Sometimes i just ramble on.
