Re: IML: Goal not met

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

If I gave up on my car projects every time friends and family suggested 
that I sell them, I would have less than no cars to work on. Not 
everyone understands the passion that a true blue Imperial nut feels 
about his/her Imperial. Unfortunately, there are a lot of cars out 
there that got taken apart and never were finished. On the other hand, 
the ones that are done inspire us all to keep on going.

I am committed to mine until I am either disabled beyond the ability to 
do the work, or dead. Congratulations on setting a new deadline. 
Perseverance wins!

Subject: IML: Goal not met

Hi All,
     I set a goal to have my 1959 Imperial completely restored by the 
anniversary of 20 years from the date I bought it. Well,
 tomorrow will be 3/27/2007 20 years later that I bought the car in 
Penndel Pa. on 3/27/1987 when I was 25 years old. I still have interior 
work and a small fortune in some rechroming, along with getting the 
radio, window washer system and other minor things going. I'm still 
paying off loans from the 16,000  dollars I put into it in 2005. I have 
had many people in my life say that I'll never get this project done 
and to sell it. I have to admit, it has been a long hard road to get 
the car this far and with out the help of this site, the vendors, 
friends and family I would have most likely given up. So, I've set a 
new deadline, 1/28/2009, that is 50 years from when the car was built. 
Wish me luck, and thanks for all your help.
