At least twice a month. You can only imagine what folks will call me or show up to my place with something I totally don’t need but end up buying it anyway. I try not to fill the shelves with the stuff, but it looks soo cool sitting there and makes for some great conversation with friends. 383 crossram intake, R/T Louvered hood insert, NOS gasser polished quick change rearend and about a few more items I’ll probably never use on anything, but is cool just see on the shelves.

I am trying to minimize my parts stash in case I ever have to move again.

BUT, 2 things I couldn't resist were a 66-68 B body 4 speed console top, and an Offy small block low rise dual quad intake.

I'm buying an Arrow just because I think they were the coolest race car. Bad thing is I had to borrow money for it. Not much self control
