I think what you are finding out has been the experience of thousands of others. We put out time,energy, and money into something old, only to find that it's real value is less than just the amount of money that we put into it. Then comes the reality check as should we continue or take out losses. A friend once ask why I put so much effort into so old object and after a little thought I replid that for a brief time I could say that it was mine and I made it useable again. I had just as soon spend my time on an old tractor,piece of furniture,car,lawnmower,or what ever than watching TV,paying golf,fishing,or whatever as these are the things that I call my toys.At the end of the day I have the satisfaction of my accomplishments just as others had of making par while paying $70.00 for a round of golf. There are also days when a $150.00 carburator didn't help one bit.BTW If you take a real good look at that $2000.00 H I am sure you can find a way to spend another $2000.00 on it. When we go fishing don't we need at least one new rod or reel. Finish your H and enjoy or you may find yourself interested in little red sports cars with removable tops.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce ... [Read Article]
