Missed my shaker hood 3 times...So now I'm getting a kit

[Moparal]

Each time I tried to sell bigger things to buy my hood, I got took on the money, Then my children came up for the holidays and I gave them 200 each to go shopping on while they were here, and after that I filled their cars up for 146 bucks. So Now I have been selling little parts here and there and am almost to where I can pay cash for Scotts shaker kit. I called him turkey day and was going to cc it but thought cash would be better. I hate to cut up my original flat hood to my m46 car, but it is a flat hood and others can be gotten.  Now if I can sell my rally dash I posted,  I can buy my new rear bumper and give these others to the clown  

I know I can afford to just buy the hood and bumper, but I like the feeling of being able to purchase the stuff by making money off my hobby parts. Anybody else do this too?  It teaches me patience which I have little of and makes me appreciate my car more this way.
I also no I am weak and when I drive up to Stephens performance tomorrow, I may get week knee'd and just buy the hood...decisions, decisions

Al,
I feel your pain and tend to be a very impulsive buyer. I guess it's an ADHD thing!!! My wife is still mad at me because I still have not sold the '68 Barracuda which I was gonna sell to pay for the Challenger.   Now I have both & am finding excuses NOT to sell the '68.  I bought a race built big block on a whim but at $1,000 bucks who could go wrong. It has over 2K in the heads alone!! Just don't bring a hemi engine by my garage...I'll be sleeping there for a long time!!!  Good luck with the hood. Go for it!!!

I know how you feel I'm about to inventory parts to sell to pay for parts on my car as well. My problem is I have been looking at your parts and trying to figure how to get extra money to buy yours....... It never ends!

I'm getting the same looks from my wife as well. I said I'd sell the Cuda before starting tha Challenger. Oh well that just didn't work out.

What's the deal on the rallye cluster? I am looking for a 70-71 set-up that I can get for the bosses car and turn into white face guages.

Alan my 70 Cuda was a 5 year project and that was the only way I could afford all the parts was selling stuff to buy the parts I needed. It worked out great as I was never in a rush and did not burn me out on the work I had going on in my garage.
