See if this helps you: I paid too much ($1100.00) for a stuck, torn apart, neglected 1954 70 gas. After a lot of work (my son did a lot) and again, more money (me), we got it out to the shows, parades and pulls last summer. Man, it looks great, runs great, sounds great and there aren't that many of them out there. I know there are better pullers but this one never shames us. When I think back to the entire recovery process, I guess I've pretty much forgotten the times I cursed myself for getting that blankety-blank thing. Now, it's NOT for sale! I had it out last night for the tour of my 50 acres; a lot more fun and definitely cheaper than going to a shrink. Just now went through a listing of all the events coming up that we will take it too this spring, summer and fall. My son has it so well tuned that it starts "right now," even after sitting in the barn in single digit temps. for over a week. This one taught me though, that you are farther ahead to get a "runner" to start with and do what you need to do as you go along. If it's like you say it is, if the budget can stand it, if your CEO is in agreement, RUN, don't walk and grab it, right now!!
