    don't sell it man. $5300 doesn't cover the cost of the work you put into it or the money obviously. Keep that car so your kid can drive it when he or she gets old enough. Just seems like a waste to give it away for nothing. Obviously prioritize, but if you didn't have the car to begin with, you'd have nothing to sell, so just don't sell it! I've thought about selling my car too, but I've put a lot of work and money into mine, but no where near as much as you have!!

    I know what you're saying. But I'm having a kid and I'm moving and will probably only end up with part time jobs. I will not have a garage and I know the car will never be finished. It's funny how everything works out. I use to work as an engine division field service manager at the engineering headquarters for Navistar. Biggest truck manufacturer in the world. I partied naked just once and now I'm going to be working a shift at Taco Bell. Talk about turning your life upside down.

    Man, that really blows. Well, I've never even had a good job yet, but when I do I'll put partying naked on my list of things not to do. Sorry to hear about all that. If I was near you, I'd sell my car just to buy your car and finish it! You've already spent the big money on the big parts.

    Taking a trip down memory lane. I thought I'd mention I sold this car for $3800 I believe it was. I've slept since then. Gave it away.

    Great thread..... You sold it because you had to for the family, I respect that.... It's just a car. Your priorities are in check!! I'm 50 now and can afford to throw money away at my car.... I can admit now that I was racing in my 20's and 30's trying to raise a family when I should have put the car up on jack stands!!!

    i sold my Pro Charger and T56 this summer and my car is back up on jack stands.... Going turbo and T400..... LOL, seems I'm never happy!!

    my son is building a 80 Camaro TT 540..... I warned him from that start that you will NEVER recover what you spend on it.... It's been 3 years and over $50K and it's still not done..... Good thing is he is not going in debt to build it and he plans on never selling.... LOL.....

    again..... Great build thread!!
