I don't really want to know...Just
curious if anybody else feels this way.....Bill B
Bill - I truly feel your pain as I have a folder full of receipts that I haven't entered into my spread sheet. When I restarted my restoration I decided to keep track of the the parts, part numbers, vendors, and prices. For the most part I did a fairly good job of entering the data, even going back and entering the previous owner's receipts for his restoration efforts. Believe me, the dollar column total is a very sobering sight and can certainly slow a project down.
If you are interested here is the
spreadsheet as of July 2007. You can also see the PO's cost from 1984 or so
here. There are several thousand dollars more of line items awaiting entry but I find that I'm afraid to see the new total. I posted these spreedsheets on the 'Bolt to not only assist other 'Bolter's in their restorations of similar '41 - 46 series trucks but to also provide a reality check for those considering going down the same path.
