Thanks Wayne --- and yeah I kinda hated to part with it --- for me I have to remember that this is just a hobby. I'm not a "collector"... I like getting dirty and working on stuff... and while I've had fun working on the Nomad -- the entire car needs to be completely re-done if I was to keep it (I re-did the Red Vette at least 3 times top to bottom!)... and I just have other stuff I'd like to do now. When the kids were home -- I used the days while they were at school etc to bang away on the cars.... now with building a new house over here - that's going to take almost 2 years -- and with the new(er) track cars - I want to do more of that.... and realistically -- it'd be 3 years before I'd start that project and then a couple to complete... and I'd end up with the same basic car I had. It's the same reason I sold my '37 Ford to a buddy. I just knew I wasn't going to work on it for some time -- and then what's the point... ya end up just pushing 'em around the shop. I'd rather just acknowledge "life" and roll with it.
When the new house is done -- I want to build a "patina" hot rod... the kind you can drive in mud and snow... well maybe not the snow part... but that's what I decided I want to do. I'm kinda over the whole chrome and show car thing --- so will go racin' and road trippin'.
