Similar here.
I sold the 69 nomad and 74 Vega and bought a near cherry 90 Silverado. Then I sold the 73 charger just so I would stop spending money on it.
So about the only posts I've made lately is on the 90 P60 van which I'm hoping to one day sell for enough to break even.
LessonsI've learned:
if you intend to sell your project in the future, do some research. I had no idea the market value on a 73 charger was so low. Had it been a 69... Only a few years difference can be huge.
One project at a time. If I had put all the cash from those three into one, I'd have had a showstopper.
It's easier to make money doing small projects on OTHER peoples' cars.
You know, I had some joker tell me the charger's high value was 5K, even knowing there was 10K in just the engine. That's akin to saying a set of glasses at a yardsale is only worth $1, when each glass has a C note in it. Nope, better to just work on other peoples' stuff, and let THEM deal with the market value..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
