    You got that right. This one has been trouble free but I'd much rather throw the money into a Ford money pit. Very Happy

    Thanks. In my mind, the motor and body should be done by Bakers but in reality, it's no differnt than remodeling your house. As everyone knows that's not doing everything yourself, it's hard to keep the different people involved on task to hit their deadlines too. But the rear end is totally rebuilt with new pig and all new bearings and axles bearings so that's one off my list.

    I can dig that. Just moving it over to the boat broker to sell it about 50 miles in lake erie, busted a v-shaft for the tune of $1100. I can't wait to pay $15 a pound for yellow perch. Sure beats the $300 a pound I was paying to catch it with the boat.

    i had always heard that the 2 greatest days in a man`s life were
    the day he buys a boat and the day he sells it.

    Yeah, I've sold a ton of stereo equiptment last month before I sold the boat to fund the van. I never liked getting rid of any equipment when I upgraded so I had a shitload but I can only listen to one so I've just turned steroeo stuff into custom paint and body work. Very Happy I've still got a killer deal on a Dennon surround receiver. 7 x 170 amps. This thing knocks pics off the wall.
