A few years ago my wife and I drove from Long Beach, Ca to Albuquerque, New Mexico .... about 800 miles / one night hotel stay / 800 miles back for a $500 random assortment of ponton parts that 1/2 filled my Jeep Grand Cherokee. At the time even I questioned my sanity for taking such a crazy trip but over the past few years many of the parts I needed for restoration that were not available from MBZ or would cost more than $1,000 from the Classic Center I found in that pile I picked up in New Mexico .... so these days I think I'm a genius!
