Laffin, you make me happy, Bristoe. I'll take a hard run at it, and I'll do my best to keep my sights on the horizon and not just on the weld seams and body lines 18" in front of my face.
Something clever here.

Yeah,...well,...I'm just an old redneck. But there's people with big money out there who will pay for what you do.
I don't know much,...but I've seen enough to know that much.
You need to start stickin' the big money in your pocket for what you do.
I don't know where you need to go do it,...but it's out there.
Find it.

Most of the people who have the big money in America today are totally useless sumbitches anyway
This is pretty stupid, even by campfire standards. Yeah,...you must be one of 'em. Go build a car like Dave does,...post pics,..then get back with me.

Dave has Uber skill, but Dave also gets to work from home, be his own boss, work with his kids, take on what projects He wants to take on, play with Eener, close early and go fishing.
Money isn't everything for everybody...

Hell!,...he can work from home and make the money!
I never suggested otherwise.
People who have the money to purchase pristine, restored classics don't worry about shipping feees.

Bristoe is right on this one.If I am working on a 100 year old restored stone house for folks with lots of cash it cost more than the old Grandmom down the street.

This is pretty stupid, even by campfire standards. No, it's a pretty perspicacious observation, Mister. The RICHEST players in rare old firearms in this corner of the country turn one's stomach with their unending stories of the hot price they talked some recent Widow down on,....and she selling her husband's collection to pay bills. The same bastids that will ask me to lower my prices if they bring me more work. Mind if I ask how many journeyman trades you've mastered, and PRACTICE in this chithole that passes itself off as an "economy" ? GTC

i would guess that you are doing this car for a paying customer.looks to me like by the time you replace all that metal he coulda bought 3 restored cars.

Kind of depends on what your idea of "restored" is. I would say he could maybe buy 2 horribly bubba'd up Joe dirt chit boxes (maybe). Or possibly one correctly restored car built to someone else's taste. Of course then he doesn't know for sure if its all good under the nice paint either. But with this car, he knows what the insides of frame rails, torque boxes, rockers etc look like. Because he's got pictures of all that stuff. He's able to watch the metalwork, check on the car daily if he likes. He knows exactly what he's got when its done. Here, click this link. Maybe he could have bought one or 2 like this that are already done. http://forums.vintage-mustang.com/v...ml#/forumsite/21081/topics/849746?page=1
