Had to laugh seeing the car parts scattered around in a bedroom picture you posted-- that hasn't happened in my house since Feb 16, 1985. Had to remove the freshly machined 454 block from the foot of the bed, the tunnel ram and carbs off the kitchen microwave cart, and the BBC heads out of the laundry sink which at the time was doing double duty as a parts washer.

That's funny.
I hear you on this one. I told my wife it is just temporary storage. This is the room where our grandkids stay in when they are with us. Any more parts and I'm sure I'll get a stern talking to.

I went to work at Don Kennedy's car dealership in 1980 and my first demo was a 79 or 80 AMX 258 4 speed. It was considered pretty gaudy at the time and no one wanted to drive it. I was just happy to have a new car to drive with gas! Those were the days.
