Well that's kind of a lie i have a car 98 gt mustang w/01 cobra motor but i dont consider that anywhere near the caliber of car's/truck's you guy's have on this site.Anyhow i am a reborn protourer i really want to get back into PT,I say i want to get back into PT because i made a huge mistake like alot of us have.You see i fell in love with classic cars when i was young(i'm currently 28) i remember my dad working on cars and my uncle's having car's loud and shiny as hell,i think at that point in time is when i got the sickness for car's.I had it so bad that i would say without a doubt it partly contributed to my divorce,but hey what the hell.Anyhow back to my mistake.No! Not just a mistake,one of the dumbest day's in my life.I had a 1969 chevelle 2dr ht that i bought when i was 20 i spent every dime and everyday that i wasn't working restoring my car for about 2 years,I was about 70% complete with my chevelle when i caught a spy shot of the c6 corvette and i knew i had to have one,so me being the dumbass that i was i sold my car for a down payment for the vette.we'll chevy dealer's being chevy dealer's i went down to my local dealer and instead of the 42-45k sticker i was expecting to see on the vette i was shocked with a 70-90k sticker after dealer markup.So without saying the c6 never happened witch sucked because i had sold my chevelle for something that would never happen.Now if i can find a car to build 66-72 chevelle 67-73 camaro 67,68 mustang coupe i will not sell it this time.Glad to be back wish me luck! Thanks J.Conde Houston T.X.

Welcome to the site. I can say I made a similar mistake when I was 20.(Im 29 now) I had a 69 camaro ss(true ss) paid 1/k when I was 17 of a older guy in Pamdale. after countless hours a true family and friends project it was finished 2 years later. About a year after I sold it to by a condo. Big mistake.

Now get another 69 velle and get to work. And remember the wife is replaceable the car is not.(LOL)

Everyone has to start somewhere, and go with what you have and be proud of it. Not many people start out with the best. Welcome, Listen and you can learn a lot from these guys...
