Steve's Project REM Charger needs a new home

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Recently purchased in Texas at The Great Freedom Car Auctions Mopar Auction event, here's a 1962 Dodge Dart Police 4-door. It has solid outer body surfaces but some floor rust. It comes with brand new Auto Metal Direct floor pans and trunk floor. Also included is a Dodge 440, push button 727 Torqueflite, 8-3/4 Sure Grip and more. As a factory police car, its equipped with heavy duty suspension, 11-inch manual drum brakes, manual steering and a rare Leece-Neville high output alternator. It doesn't run but will make a great project for someone who digs real police cars and wants a unique machine. Check out my Project REM-Charger KZread videos for a closer look.

    It may not directly be the medical bills per se. He might have had insurance cover most of it. However, he's not had regular income for 8 months and has a house that probably has a mortgage and of course all the other expenses that happen every month even if your sitting in a hospital room. Also, it's obvious he's not going to be working on his own cars for a while due to his continued recovery. So why keep these projects around that he wont ever get back to. The guy is an amazing wealth of information and knowledge. He will do alright, but just needs to reset at this stage of his life.

    Very true. However it might not all be medical expanses as he's not had regular income for over 8 months. A home mortgage continues even if your in the hospital and the expenses that come with owning a home. He might have had insurance pay for a good chunk of it (medical), but I would be up the creek if I had not worked in all those months. I would also be behind on monthly expenses. Financial advice suggests six months of expenses in an emergency fund in the bank, and Steve certainly was in the hospital longer than that. I don't even have a months worth of expenses amiable myself, and I suspect most Americans don't sadly..

At least consult a bankruptcy attorney please and get accurate info to make an educated decision. I’m a disabled Desert Storm Vet and did the same thing.

    For all the years of automotive knowledge and countless hours of magazine material, I grew up in the car mag generation and clipped out articles and taped them on my wall.

    Steve, new subscriber here sending well wishes to you! Glad to see you up and around. I know it has been difficult. 5 years ago, 2 years after I retired I had a major organ failure that led to a near death coma followed by an organ transplant. It was both a very low time and a time of elation for me, but that brush with near death changed my perspective on many things. As a result I have been selling and giving away many of my “treasures” - projects, tools, toys. I felt the need to not burden my wife with “stuff” in the event that I check out. Like you, all my health issues left me seriously challenged and unable to do many of the things I did when I was younger. I felt that moving those things out of my life was appropriate. I will caution you to be SURE before letting too much go. Your situation may very well improve, so don’t give up on yourself yet. You may also find that friends and KZread family become more supportive than you would imagine. Don’t be too hasty. Continued health improvement wishes sent sincerely to you.

    Very true @davidp2888! I was actually offended by the statement that Steve was "admitting defeat ". I believe that to be far from the truth. There's not one person commenting that knows what Steve is truly going through through. I believe that we shouldn't be labeling or passive judgements and just be super grateful that it didn't kill him-and here he is entertaining us onc again. I sincerely hope I didn't offend anyone, just like everyone else does-i was just posting my opinion. I am beyond elated to see Steve doing a very recent video. Hopefully there is a lot more to come!
