52 F1 Build... Need opinions and poll !!
#31
I do really enjoy the info and friendship that is shared on this site. In the past 6-8 months that I have been here I have learned so much it is really amazing and it has really helped in deciding how I want to build my truck. I appreciate the sharing of info and I hope to be able to share back some of the knowledge that I will learn along the way.
That said, as I sit and read this thread, I have to ask my self why I would want to help someone make a quick buck off of my hobby. I have loved cars and truck all my life and have put family ahead of pursuing my hobby, as all of you have. I am tired of people trying to make a buck off of my experiences and not even offering to share the wealth they want to make. Sorry if I have offend anyone just a general rant.

Thanks for the thread
Dear Mark, Thank you for a great thread! While doing due-diligence in your new market of 52's you have created a forum for us to define the heart of our hobby.
2¢: All the people I know in this hobby are wanting to make old trucks useful again. Some of us also like the favorable recognition we receive when we take our truck out. It's not about the money or the condition of your old truck.
I have bought NOS parts for five times what I later found them for new in D.Carpnt'r. The people that sell to me are making money and probably laughing, but I got what I wanted to make my old trucks useful. Oh to be useful. (Useful is more important than retirement BTW.)
Merc's 50¢ on the dollar is high for my part of the country. But it's clear to almost everyone in this hobby, that the moment we spent the first dollar on one of these old trucks is when we started losing money. We know in our hearts, our hearts are above our heads.
