Ever regret building a car?

[Arrowsmith]

Speaking of regrets….I’m sitting here with my super low mileage Monte SS for sale. No good bites except for several ugly low ball offers. So the other day I pulled the car cover off of it, opened the door and sat in it. I said to myself: “Man what a great car. The paint, interior, undercarriage, engine compartment and trim is nearly perfect. I dig the way it feels when you sit behind the wheel. I dig the way it looks. I dig the way it drives. It really needs nothing aside from more power. It has the best potential of any car I’ve ever owned and I’m quite sure I’ll never find another one as good. So why am I selling it?”

I really couldn’t answer that aside from the fact I was really tired of working on cars. So I didn’t work on it all year. And after looking in the mirror, I decided I now really miss working on cars. In fact my wife is probably very tired of me bitching about it.

And I know I’ll regret it if I sell it.

And I know I’ll regret it if I sell it. There’s a solution: I’m going to keep it

Game On.

That's the spirit that makes this hobby worth it ... just enjoy it!!! TAZ

----I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I generally enjoy the resto more than the finished product. With that said, I'm winding down on cars as I have boats to occupy my time.
---- I have had a few restos that didn't go well. One customer car comes to mind where everything that could go wrong did starting with an untrustworthy seller and an owner that bought the car sight unseen. It went downhill from there with two mistakes on choices of subcontractors on my part (engine builder, and body guy). I lost a good customer and a friend on that one and I had to work to get it off my mind......Bill S
