I think Frank will be happy. Its promoted his business, he got hooked up on a lot of the parts. I would bet he made money on the car. Now to the next project! Whats next!

Funny.... I was with a couple "newbs" today at a swap meet - we discussed some of the "odd ball" cars there for sale. I was trying to explain to them - that it cost the same money for motor rebuilds - paint - interior - wheels etc to do the odd ball -- and sometimes because of parts that are unavailable - might actually cost MORE to do than one of the bellybutton "popular" cars...

I don't think they got it -- but I tried. All they could see was "it's rare" -- or "it's cheap".... And I kept telling them --- YEAH -- it's rare because nobody wanted it then either... and NO -- it's not cheap when you lose your azz on the sell side... and pay more than it was worth to fix up.

Of course the "rare" comment is for the "not really so rare" cars such as a Rambler -- or some odd Ford etc... I'm not talking about the ULTRA really rare cars such as a 1 of 69 - or a 1 of 16 car...

But no matter what you spend on an Edsel -- it's still an Edsel.
