I am of the mindset that each vehicle rescued from the scrapper is at least in temporary custody of someone who actually cherishes it. Having said this, I think most of us collectors should also understand our limitations, both financially and physically, and to pass on workable projects when the right guy comes along.
There are simply to many hoarders among the community who prevent viable projects from ever being done as they continually rust away. I am not talking about the guy down the road who has a so and so that he's gonna fix one day, rather the collector who has way too much for the years and resources he actually has available. But I suppose thats what a free country is all about.
Help the hobby out and get more guys involved!
I agree wholeheartedly Stuart, too many classics are relegated to trailer queens or garage queens and should be used as intended...
