Go right by Salt Lake at I-10 on the way home. Good for the kittys. Haha

Have any of you considered this... If you don't have enough of an estate liquid to pay for your nursing care, or home care if you don't qualify, medicare will not pay until you are destitute. This leaves a loved one to liquidate, which can be time consuming. You have to spend months, years, to figure it out. What if you make 80K a year but have to stop your life to do this? What if you never recover your career? Yes that is the issue and I'm not alone. It's not something most people plan for. My father thought he was leaving me something valuable. I will never tell him the cost it's had for me. My point is, please consider this and spare others my learning lesson.

So my father is not gone yet. The issue is the lost income to deal with this and pay for his care in the meantime. I will never recover my lost wages. Please think about the cost to liquidate. If you don't have heirs, please leave to some charity if there is enough value to justify. I would have been better off financially if he would have been broke. By far....

Well, I'm assuming you are referring to a '63 split window Corvette. Dad had one in mint condition. Everyones fav but me. I liked the '58 better. Sexy car. Dad also has a Willy's 48 Jeepster. Still has it. Also, the GTP reference... Almost bought one in '06, hard top retractable, instead opted for the GT panoramic roof, because, well... Oregon, it's more practicable, and still have it. Why are you making me work so hard when I've had a few beers? LOL But on to the question at hand. Please don't leave your car mess... Someone has to deal, and if not, I'm sorry.

Neither do I but I would have been much better off if this didn't happen. How do I make back my income loss to take care if this. If you've thought about that, then ok.

I'm trying to honor my dad, that is my first concern. So far, so good. Not necessarily top dollar, but don't want to be taken advantage of.

F & J, i am lucky that other heirs are not involved in the sale and I'm a stubborn daughter so I take my time at a great loss to me. I figure the process is my destiny and I need to see it that way.

Oh Bernie, can you imagine if the value was dependent on his care? It's not fun. You did better.

Padgett, I've had too many beers to decode your post.

Texas. How far more South can you get besides Florida? Right now... A 50 Ford project and a 79 Lincoln Town Car. Pm me for details.

If only you'all knew how much I appreciate you'alls support. Thank you! I'm new to the southern thing... Is "you'alls" a word?

Thanks for making an otherwise dull day fun Xander.

Not sure I can afford the rights! Lmbo

Fitting. Lol

At least you have a wife! Which I would assume has a clue about your cars and not 2000 miles from home.

i need a jingle for my site... Old cars don't have to be lonely... Mechanicsonly.com? Haha

I'm stuck in Tx dealing with dads cars. On TV I see a lot of ads for "farmers only.com". Thinking about starting a site for "mechanics only.com". For people like me who get stuck dealing with liquidating thier dads old car collections. Of course I'm kidding, but dad did ask when I came down, if "I had a husband who was a mechanic"? It does beg the question, though for all you car collectors, what is your exit plan? Please seriously think this through, because if you get stuck unexpectantly, with a car collection and only a daughter 2000 miles away, it's a pretty tough spot for her. Lol

I'm not really sure what the intended purpose was.

Don't think that they'd want aluminum.

Found out today it's aluminum.

Hey guys, I have a couple sheets of sheet metal, approximately the size of plywood, that someone wants to buy. I have no idea what to charge? I assume my dad fabricated something with it for his cars. Any ideas?

Yep, that's pretty much how it was.

Thanks for the info. I placed the order and will look into the info you shared as well.

Dealer has no clue and can't call the supplier or give me a number to call so I ordered the closest thing I could fine online. They are both for V8's and if not right I can return. It's actually for a Mustang but maybe I will get lucky. Wish me luck!

Lol no but good idea. Thanks!
