I don't see the problem.

Oh wait, yes I do! There's no Mustang in that list!!
Ain't happening.
I have a Sonoma to finish a 400hp 350 build for, an Avalon that needs the interior stripped and a cage installed, a Mazda 3 that needs a new engine (picked it up for $250, should be an easy flip), a Kia Rondo that needs an A/C compressor and then to be sold, a Suburban that needs a water pump, and a Civic that needs some paint.
And a Partridge in a pear treeAin't happening.

Probably not. The Kia's A/C compressor and belt have been sitting in the floorboard since July. The Sonoma's transmission parts have been stacked discreetly under my dining table for a year. The fiancee's Civic has needed the roof re-cleare-coated since we met nearly two years ago. The Avalon is about to become a daily driven Lemons car. The Mazda has been sitting six months already waiting on me to go get an engine for it.Matt will have all of that done by Easter and a new list by Christmas.
.AND?
I got there when I was fixing my papaw's '75 Chevy C10 that had also been my first car. I had the crushing realization that by the time I was finished restoring it, the only things left that would have been his were the frame and driveshaft. That's when I parted it out..
You know I was just poking fun, right?Lord knows I have no room to talk!
Side note: I was cleaning off the garage pad the other day and burned a lot of leaves and stuff. I took the opportunity while the pile was smoldering to start looking over my 55 again. I had to call my mom and ask her what my dad was thinking when he bought it; there won't be an original piece of sheet metal on that car except maybe the roof and firewall - and those are questionable.... I kind of feel like something else just died in me.

I also have one unbuilt that was picked up before I bought my car new, maybe 1976? Really should get it to a person that will build it.I have a couple scale models that are just hanging out in my closet waiting to be built, so I'm all for sharing this kind of stuff too!
Both tail lamps and all of the glass would get that back. I've had crazy amounts of success selling the hood latches and cables out of the two I put hood pins in (like $50 each), both of the front fenders, doors, and decklid look like they're possibly salvageable in the pics, if the rear end is an 8", that's worth something (might even get $200 for that alone), there's the front suspension if I didn't have possible plans for it, the hood is solid, and all of the aluminum trim seems intact. That car could easily be profitable from selling parts, and then I could cut the rest up with a Sawzall, load it onto my trailer with other random scrap, and get probably $50-100 for the scrap metal. The worst part would be wearing a respirator and paper paint suit in the heat down here while gutting the interior, which looks to be almost completely destroyed and mold infested.I'm not sure you'd even be able to recoup that $200 if you tried to part it out.
