Tom,
Not at all, not at all.
I haven't had to carve one of my own -yet- but I'm still only a couple of years into this.
But, Redwood Chair's long-dormant '69 145s "Rambo" has been my learing experience. It too is at the cutting stage. Everything salvageable, not necessarily valuable, is being saved.
One really builds an appreciation for these things when you get them down to just the the pressed body sections balanced on jack stands.
I'm also doing a pair of Citroen D series for the same reason, experience (and a part or two. heh.)
the '72 was done in by rust, no? Well, it will live on.
I have Ken's wrecked '70 145 in a couple of places on my '70
Some of a rusty short-lived parts '73 145 in my '74 142
And the engine poised to go in my '66
As well as hosts of parts from other BB'ers, which although I haven't met personally I like knowing where they came from.
Something special about the parts when you know their story...
If the Vintage Volvo population is indeed dwindling, there's a decent amount of reconstitution slowing down the attrition rate.
Cheers, -Sean
