For a while I was rather bummed out about it, but then I realized that _everything_ I've done to this car simply unbolts and can be moved over to the next one. My buddy Rob started mentioning rust-free Cali cars, and then the decision to simply make this car last another year or two was easy. So now I look at this one more as a "dry run", if I play my cards right I'll buy the next one in a year, and spend a year getting the chassis body ready, and then swap over my stuff in a methodical manner.
Already creating the dream list...maybe turbo on the next one
