It all depends if you can afford to lose it. I used to have a 450 horse 56 Nomad that I put in a few car shows.One weekend before it was schedualed to go into the PNE Car Show, my best friend wanted to borrow it to make a "Beer Run". You guessed it ,that was it's final run.He had no money and no job, so I ended up flipping the 600 extra dollars that the insurance needed to complete the restoration. Well ,the frame ended up beeing an inch or two longer on the drivers side and when I waved good bye to it after I sold it ,the body waved back. It was never the same,sniff. I used to wash it every time before driving it .No one was allowed to get into it before removing their shoes, I was obsesive.Funny, I was interested in a red AD truck, just south of Spokane a few months back ,and the guy insulted me .He thought I wouldn't look after his baby as much as him.I'd like to see his house.I have been told I'm excesively obsesive about that type of stuff,I would go so far as wiping my engine every day before I'd take my Nomad out.I think the guy simply wasn't ready to let it go.
