I like this thread, it hits home.
After having Jeff Lee beat on my head to put a roll bar in my 1969 Barracuda
340-S and make it a stocker, I could not bring myself to cut it up, I sold it to a
buddy and then went out and bought a "turn key" bracket Duster BB for more
money than I had ever paid for a project car before.
Of course it came with NO safety equipment and a gas tank full of rust. 
My last real race car was a Duster so I guess in my mind it's only OK to cut up
Dusters.
Now I'm into it about $10K and it is done except for paint/bodywork which will
have to wait awaile, but it is ready to be fired, then it's off to the muffer shop and
then a front end alignment.
If all goes well it will be in Vegas at the end of this month for Mopars at the Strip.
