Radrambler Project Is Starting Over !!!!!! - Page 2 - Lateral-g Forums

If it's any consolation Tom, I was set to sell my HO SS to a car collector who was going to fly out to check out my car in person before buying. I had that locked up and another car, a LeMans Blue '69 Camaro SS 396 4 speed with console, that I was going to put some money as a down payment on. Had a deposit on the 69 and everything is cool right?!?! WRONG!!!!

The fiance tells me, you can sell the HO SS, but you're not buying another car!! So, we go at it for a while and needless to say, I do not have my '69 SS, which I am dying to buy "EVENTUALLY".

I was going to bring the car to COMP SPEC in Walpole, where "KARMA" is being taken care of and have them do my list of "pro-touring" goodies.
Anyways, what I am trying to say is, you have the car, just keep at and think about the car being completed and being able to drive it!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!

I've known Tom for a long time...I'm ignoring the request to "not talk you out of it..." and I'm going to TALK YOU OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!

You've been at this too long to give up now. That rust is treatable...you had to sand it all again anyway. Just a test to see how commited you are.

Now...get out there, treat it...sand it...and let's go for a ride in this thing soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't make me drive up there and fix it for you!

It's not too late to make the right decision here.

Not to get in to personal business and I don't know the reality of your situation but all kidding aside boulder69 has a point. Been there married that wasted 5 years with a woman like that and 2 more years getting back on my feet and collecting tools she sold off for pennies.

I now have a wonderful wife and daughter. My wifes loves and supports me and my car addiction. If you have a fiance already trying to control things like that it only gets 10 times worse.

Burn it and get insurance money.

My Fiance goes with me to every race and car show and loves it. She even started racing her own RC truck that she bought with her money. Yeah I have to wrench on it to, but aleast I don't have to bank roll the hole operation also. I think I might keep shopping for another girl, they are few and far between, but they are out there.
