Should I sell it?
I have lost interest in the wagon and have battled with myself for a while, if I should keep it till I want to mess with it or put it for sale. What do you suggest?

You already built one, I can see you getting bored with the second. Don't you have a shoebox to work on anyway? I know it's really your dads, but too many coals in the fire can burn a person out.

I have 2 sets of wheels and a wolfe 10 point, all kinds of shit for the car. I have all the interior and front clip, just no interest at this point in my life to finish it. Dont get me wrong I still wanna drag race but I just don't feel the wagon right now, and it maybe just that im to lazy and there is not enough time for all the work that needs to be done to finish it and I have too many projects.

We're all getting older man.  I don't even have a kid, but I've got a big house to work on, and it's tiring. It's a rare day I want to go out into the hot garage and turn wrenches any more, even with a badass car sitting out there.

thats what I would do. Don't sell just put it up for awhile and mess with it when you have the drive to get it going again. Cause I'm sure it will hit you just might take some time. I remember you pitting next to me at the Dale once with the old wagon. Man that thing was fun to watch.

I am in the same boat as you John. Working on cars all day and then trying to work on your own, just doesn't work. All my time after I shut the shop down is spent with the kids, or working on shop stuff, materials, invoices, quotes, bills, etc... If someone came along with a decent offer for my car, there would be no doubt, it would be sold.

i know what ya mean john, everyone asks when i am gonna get another car, and honestly i dont really want one right now, or anytime in the future... there is just so much more going on in my life, that i dont have the hours a day to focus on a car... but if i did have one, i would just let it sit until a later time...

Sit on it awhile before you decide to sell it. Besides, its worth alot more running than a rolling chassis.

Coming from someone who almost sold their shit - I'd sit it in the corner, and just wait it out. Work on it when you have a few extra bucks, or a few extra hours.
Not to mention, that when you sell it - you will most likely lose your ass compared to what you have invested. IMHO, It's better to sit on it for a while and work on it when you can - as opposed to getting rid of it now and losing thousands of dollars. |

I agree with mike, if its not costing you money to sit there, let it, in 5-10yrs when you want it back, it will still be there, waiting.

John I went through the same thing with my Malibu. Thought it about it for months and finally pulled the trigger to let it go. Since I pieced all the speed parts out separate I got all my money back and maybe made a little. All my new in the box parts I sold at the prices I paid since everything had gone up in price.
I paid off the rest of my dept and have dumped the rest in the 66 Cutlass you saw last fall in Rowlett. I second guessed myself at first but I don't even think about it now. I can cruise with the family and don't have to worry about race gas, nitrous and entry fee just to get to drive the car.

re
skunt-u ,"I suggest putting it on the back burner and just work on it when you have spare time. Their is no sense kicking yourself in the ass and wishing you had not sold the car. ( That is if you decide to sell) 6 kids here and still have my projects! "
Like he says you will be kickin yourself in the ass latter... I know i did. Thats why im going to hold on to the stang no matte how fustrated i get ,or not having the time to work on it. jmo

Sounds like John has resigned himself to a life of being slow and old and married!
Get that damn thing together! You've been working on it what, 3 years now?

WTF?!! Don't sell it! If you gotta store it somewhere for a while just to get your mind off it, let me know. I know a nice place that is warm and cozy just itching for another ford.

we've talked about it a few times... don't really want a huge project, but I can't help but be curious/intrigued...
so whereas before I kinda balked at it (as recently as a couple days ago), I guess I'd like to know what kind of $$ we're talking
