Let say I was damn happy! >SEEK and YE SHALL FIND!!!! Like I said, "ya win some, ya lose some". :-) I fell in between your definition of "haves" and "have nots". I've had my Chevelle for 16 or 17 years, but have been restoring it for 6 years now. I "have" a lot of parts, but evidently I "have not" nearly $20k worth of stuff! :-) Having stretched this project out for so many years, I've been able to patient and find the good deals over the years.
