Re: IT'S HARD TO BE COOL (HEARTBEATUSA)
Welcome to the forum. I have put about $1500 in my 78 in the past year. I could have spent more, I just drive more than I work! I really do enjoy both though.
Amazing how fast the dollars add up. Besides my carpet set, fan clutch and a pair of seats I haven't spent over $100 on any single item. Lots of .05's and .10's.
When your not working on it or driving it enjoy the forum. Lots to be learned here, and many :lol: too.

Re: IT'S HARD TO BE COOL (jdharkey)
See I think that's a problem a lot of folks have. Don't think of it as a job you have to finish...totally. It's a hobby. Too me a car is never really really DONE. I think if I keep this car and keep working on it for 15 years, it will never be done. Het how about rack and pinion? C4 suspention? A 6 seed? put in H.U.D.? An aluminum blg block? There's always SOMETHING else. Un less your one of those stock happy (no immagination of your own) types. Sorry NCRS guys just a strong difference in opinion. :boxing
