With all the time he has in this car I'd be suprised if he got rid of it too. And he's not been responding either, so that makes me suspicious. lol!

Ask Kitz how long it took me to decide on, and find a simple pair of valve covers.

I think anyone on here could talk about how long it took you to decide on a pair of valve covers.:p

Hey, I have to admit, I'm really picky about that certain "look" and feel of the car. I don't want it to look like it was just thrown together. It has to be right. Wait til the end of the year (or early next year). I'll make no further comments about future plans.

Believe me, I know what it's like to get overwhelmed with a project and feel like it's become a struggle more than a good thing. I had so many parts all over the place I didn't see how I would ever get the car together. I just had to step away for a while and gather my thoughts, and realize, that every little piece I install, every fastener I tighten is progress. Sometimes progress is very slow, but it is progress. Patience is often times an art to be mastered. I have mastered that art. I have been accused of changing my mind a lot, but I'm patient about getting what I need. Ask Kitz how long it took me to decide on, and find a simple pair of valve covers. Looking back on the Sport, the time I have invested, the things I've done with it, I'm glad it happened the way it did. I got (and get) a lot of satisfaction building that old car, and I'm glad I can say I built it with my own two hands with a lot of moral support and tech support from my friends here, and it's something I can be really proud of.

I hear ya, Vin

Yep, you understand. I didn't have rust, but everything else...literally, has been replaced. I now have some serious bragging rights about where the car came from, and where it is now.

Not bragging about what was swapped, but about the work I did myself. I've had technical help, but the labor was done by me. I know the Sport and every single fastener on it. In some aspect, it's my version of the Thunderbird, the way I saw it in my minds eye. Lot's of thinking about what will and won't work, lots of parts hunting, and lots of effort behind it all. I built it.

Yep, never letting it go. The Sport is basically a family member. More than just a chunk of metal with wheels.

No, that's what I'm talking about. Normal people who don't have soft spots for cars that they choose to work on, (like people who habitually buy new cars) would call that insanity. You know... [annoying voice]"if it costs more to fix it than the car is worth, you should just get rid of it and get a new car....nag, nag , whine, nag, complain...."[/annoying voice] you know the drill lol. 

We call it.... Love.;)
