well, it seems the cosmos conspires against me yet again, lol. I've got a lot happening right now, and money is tight (i'm sure many of you know how it is)... 
As much as I used to love working on cars, I have become incredibly frustrated with my "collection". So as of this moment, I have to make a plan to make the "collection" go away, lol. I posted this in off-road chat because this is the only board I ever really read anyway, and you guys know me better than the other areas. I will be checking in from time to time, but I won't be following the board as regularly. Don't worry, I won't disappear completely.
I don't mean to whine, I'm just discouraged and need some confirmation of what I should do with this crap, because I cant keep it all, there just isnt a way. I will be keeping the 1979 wagoneer (it was my grandfathers) and my dodge, my tools of course, and thats pretty much it. I will be putting the wagoneer back together with the one-tons and chevy drivetrain, but then I am completely done with redoing cars for now. I may build a hot-rod some day, time will tell. I will post a write-up this summer when the jeep is put back together.
This has been a long time comming... I stripped the wagoneer on 36's many of you knew as "Jennie" this past fall. I actually was happy to see it go off to be melted into new hondas. It was a cool rig, but had been a major PITA for so long it just felt good to be rid of it. I've never had that feeling before with a car, and I realized my heart just wasn't in this hobby anymore.
Spring break for me is in about a week, so I'm planning to strip the remaining chevy one-ton I have and put everything in my stash, both chevy and jeep, up on the for sale board here, and at colorado 4x4. If you need any 73-87 chey parts, let me know. The cab needs rockers/corners, and the doors are trashed, so it'll probably go to scrap. The bed is going on my scrap trailer frame because that bed is really rusty. I will glady ship small stuff like the glovebox, door locks, gauge cluster, hood hinges, etc etc. let me know if you need anything specific, go ahead and post if you do.
SO, thanks for letting me vent. I will be around occasionally and feel free to PM me if you need any of those wonderful useless factoids I know. Watch for my parts lists to pop up in the comming weeks as I start whittling away at the 2 garages full of parts.
And just for the record, i'm not mad at any members here or anything, I'm just sick of automobiles. You all have been like an extended family to me for many years now, and it means alot to me. Happy Trails, and Safe Wheeling!
