Hey guys,

First off I would like to appologize if I seriously like mad anyone mad. Although I thought that the majority of the posts in repsonse to my "donation" post were rather harsh. The responses make me feel as if I am no longer welcome on the forums. When I made taht post I was seriously in a lot of debt and I was looking for any help witht he car that I could get. I was thinking of doing something rather harsh to get the money but I figured I would ask you guys to help and be generous to list names but forget it. Its a done subject. I'm just going to gather up like everything I got.. my computer, my monitor, speakers, home theater, misc Vette parts that were used and new, pretty much everything that I can get my hands on and just sell it on eBay.

Have a good day/night guys,
-Louis

Never mad louis you are allways welcom here if fact we enjoy having you and seeing your progress keep up your hard work and rember this is the best place for information

Didn't see the previous post.... don't care too. Figure out what ya need to do an get er done. If ya love the car then keep it. Figure out a way ta pay the bills.
I see this frequently so here's my.02. Go to the bank Borrow the $$$, on a personal loan, In a time frame that works for you REALISTICALLY, pay off all your bills, make monthly installments to the lending institution.
Don't go to credit cards, payday cash loans, fat uncle Harry, keep it with somebody non family that is an established lending instatution.
The sooner you do this the sooner ya can get on and breath again.
Keep postin the pics and how us ur wisdom...lifes tough but ya gotta be tougher...

Louis, you are welcome here as long as you follow the rules and your posts are in good taste.

My advice to you... if you were/are "seriously in a lot of debt," as you said... then your Vette should be your last priority.  Paying your other debts first should be number one.  The Vette is a HOBBY not a NECESSITY.  And if your Vette is your only mode of transportation and it doesn't run, then perhaps you should sell it and buy something that does run and less expensive to maintain. If it does run, then just keep it running...don't go looking to fix it up until your other debts are paid off.  And by all means... DO NOT ask people for money to help you with your Vette if you still have other debts to pay off.

Good luck.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the responses. I can't and won;t ever sell my Vette. I've been through so much just to get rid of her. The VEtte is the only thing thats putting me in debt. So far I owe the engine guy like $1,000 I owe the guys doing some work on it for the interior/stereo liek $300 plus like $500 in parts. And I owe a rebuild place liek $120 for my VIR rebuild. So, its going to be a while before I cna even start to save on $300 a week. Plus I still ahve like $350 in parts from Ecklers left to go and like an additional $200 on Doc Rebuild to go.

But, I g2g to work. Have a good day guys,

I know it's not easy Louis.  Hang in there buddy!  There's a lot I still need to do to my car, but I just have to wait until I can save up the money and take on extra work.  At least you don't have a $58,000 Hospital bill.....YIKES!!   Sometimes life gives ya a U-TURN!  

Hang on in there, Louis. We all know how it feels.
I have no job now....I got bills, and a mortgage too.
right now, my '85 'Vette is for sale. I don't wanna do it, but, I got to do something.

If I can't find a job soon, my prized '74 may have to go, too.

You just need to prioratize things. The 'Vette can wait...it's hard to see it sitting there, begging ya to "Drive me, please!!", but, if you just take your time, it will reward you in the end. Adams' Apple38967.5352777778

Hang in there Louis,don't be in such a rush,good things come to those who are patient,you don't have to get that Vette together now ,do you?The rest of us have been working on ours for years,some seem like centuries.Just stand back ,take a deep breath,count to a TRILLION by ones,and do what you can do when you can afford to do it.Don't let the money thing make you crazy,one step at a time.Patience is a virtue,keep the pics coming when you can,we're with you LITTLE BROTHER Ron 7838967.6929166667

Louis, I will be happy to trade the $118,000.  that the insurance company does not want to pay for my wifes hospital bills.  To say nothing of other expenses.

I have the talent/skill to make my car near perfect.  I do not have the time or the money.  And you know what it looks like.  But I am making slow progress.  And so are you .

Hang in there, follow the rules, and stay around.  It's a good journey dispite the hardships.  If all you can do is go look at it and sigh, you still own a vette.  And you have a lot of life ahead.  Work you butt off and enjoy it as much as you can.  They you will be just like the rest of us.
