I've never understood you guys...

I'm talking about all you car nuts out there, who can spend an entire weekend working on your collectors car. It's crazy to think one could spend so many hours, days, even years on such a project.

From building a HiPo motor with all the goodies, to finding just the right hood emblem, each part of the process seems equally important to you.

Well, last month I came across a "collectors" car.

Brown in hue from all its cancerous rust, barely breathing from 40 year old motor and its soft top that resembled an overwashed pair of blue jeans, I could only think that this car was good for one of two things... the recycling center or a car fanatic.

Fixing a car in this kind of condition would be shear insanity. This is my story of the onslaught of mental illness, and a sixty-four Comet.
