yea i understand the money issue. my ol ford waits on me every friedy for her share of money. this past week i droped a lil over a hundred dollars in tools to bend pipes and new shoes for the rear plus redone the rear hubs sills and break lines. the things she demanding from me right now to she feels good is new front leaf springs, new shocks all the way around, new rear gas tank, new c6 transmission for 4x4, complete front grill, pass fender, pass door, tail gate and then a pant job.believe me i know how money is. i spent over 1400 on a machine to bore clean and all the good things to build a new engine. got it home painted it put her together from a short block to running. dropped her in my truck and the damn cam and lifters wiped out because the lifters got stuck in the bores. machine shop told me it was my fault. inproper fireing order on the wires. she sat for 3 or 4 months. found another engine, used for 200. with the transmission. was told it runs good. got it put it in my truck and ran good for a day or two and then the oil pump locked up. she set for another month or two and then i did it right. went to advance and bought a new engine for 1300.00 and all the other stuff to get it runnig totaled about 1600.00. so if we add this all up i done put over 3000.00 in her this year and i still have 38 more days to go to the end of this year.
