Which is it? I have parted our 3 cars. The first one had been 
stripped of just about everything before I got it. This was due to 
the front end collision it was in 18 years prior. It sat outside 
for that amount of time. I parted out the panels. In doing so i 
funded some major restorations on my car, and saved a lot of people 
a lot of money.

One "restorable" car gone...at least 12 cars back on the road.

The second parts car was toasted in a fire. I parted out the front 
end and used some of the parts for my own, and used some of the 
money for more restorations on my car

One "restorable car gone...at least 15, and counting, back on the 
road

The third I am still working on parting out. Major front end 
damage. So far I have help 9 people fix there cars....and oh yea, 
helped mine along the way. 

lets see 12+15+9 equals 36...and oh yea...MINE! That makes 37 cars 
back on the road, and 3 of them gone. And thats not even true! 2 
of the parts cars are now in Rich W. hands. Who knows what they 
will turn into. 

Now, lets get back to what you were saying.

>So, with an abundant supply, and a type of vehicle that I'd be

Still feel the same way? 

Yes, these cars are great. But they should not be treated like 
gods. Just because you do not feel a certain way about something 
doesn't mean that the rest of use are wrong. Same holds true to 
the "You must keep everything stock" and the "Modify!!!" crowds. 
Personal opinion. You can tell us your opinion, but 
remember...thats all it is.
Oh, and in reply to an earlier post made by Todd:

Hey John Hervey, Rob Grady and Darryl...SELL YOUR CARS!!! You don't 
deserve them.
