    Byron,

    You had to ask the ultimate question that I hide from.

    I tallied up the reciepts, and I briefly questioned my sanity on this car, but I try not to judge a car by what I have to spend on it, rather by the enjoyment it will bring to me.

    I now have a car that is completely new from front to the rear bumper, and is of better quality than when it came off the assembly line. AND I had one hell of a great time watching the car being restored.

    I truely love restoring these older Buicks and that kind of fun is very hard to put a price on.

    Mickey,
    It's way too embarrassing to say. Do you remember what you told me you would sell me your 30 Ford for? it will be within pennies of that.
    How have you been lately? and how's the T-Type doing for you ?Hope you and your wife have a wonderful summer planned. Keep in touch buddy.

    Its alot I`m sure,mine was alot too,i have receipts that add up to about $40,000 over a 9 year period that i`ve owned the car and thats including the resto,brakes,and so on,but i dont care cause its the way i wanted it to look and be,i know if i try to sell her she probably will not be able to get me $30,000,but hey thats the game.

    Thanks:)

    Mark,

    Just my way of making a bad joke and saying hi. The T Type still runs! Your car is looking great and I'm still considering something similar along the way. I think your route is a good one...you'll know exactly what you have in the end and there's a certain amount of value in that. All the best to you and your family.
