Anyone sold a vehicle or project and REALLY regret it?
Here is mine:
I was GIVEN a complete 1924 Model TT a few years ago. It was a project and had not been run in about 20 years but it was about 95% complete. Right down to the cables and everything. Motor was not stuck and she rolled fine. Wood wheels where in great shape etc.
I wanted to build a rat rod so I removed all the sheet metal and sold the chassis I figured I didnt want to restore it so why would I keep what I wasn't using. It was the dumbest thing I ever did to let a restorable TT get parted out. Thank God I kept the body!!
Well I was at a show a few weeks ago and what is sitting in the swap area but a 1924 Model TT Chassis complete with a running drivetrain. I am real close to getting it and getting on common ground with the price.
If all goes well I will put the body on the new chassis and set it in the corner for a rainy day.
They say it takes a man to cut up a restored (or restorable) truck and Hot Rod it, but I dont believe it. My personal opinion of course.
