How thick is your receipts binder(s)?

[bob tilton]

i got to thinking the other day as i was hole punching a half dozen receipts from my external oil cooler project and entering them into my "restoration" binder...is this thick (the binder, not me) or is thing freaking crazy full?
do you guys keep pretty good records of all that is done on the car? do you keep a receipt from the annual dues to the early s reg (for those that have paid).

Bob.....LOL....I tired to keep folders on my S/T 2.5 liter project - I have moved on to tupperware bins!! Note to self...more then 2. This is a BAD habit!!

I'm afraid to open the folders in the file cabinet to measure lately, but I've been measuring by the pound rather than thickness for a while now.

I have two three ring binders from the pevious owner and now I have added a 3rd. I have a folder for the year that I right the amount of the recept on the outside before I put the recept in it , my wife idea so she can at a glance see what has been spent. Lucky it has gotten so long she does not want to take the time to add it up. The little engine work I did this year turned into a big "while I am at it" you know the twin plug to help "emmisions" stuff like that.

I purchased my car from the original owner. He gave me all the doc's and I put them in a binder. I added them all up (1971 - 2000) and they totaled $38,765. The purchase price of the car was another $8,025 (discounted off MSRP). The docs include the original window sticker, the original color chart (looks like he was debating between Bahia Red, Conda Green, Signal Orange, and Pastel Blue - wound up going with Metallic Silver), original loan papers ($236/month for 23 months @8% interest - he was making $480 per month!!), receipt for service work at Vasek Polak on a trip to Calif., the engine mods at Stoddard in 1979, etc.

I have the receipts stuffed into a folder in my office. If I organized them like that, I might by tempted to calculate what I've spent.

I'd rather stay in denial, thank you.

I keep all receipts and historical docs for each of my toys in its own 3 ring binder. Everything is filed in chronological order, with most recent in front.

Took quite a bit of time to set up initially, however, now it's a piece of cake.

Records are for people who plan on selling their car... Actually, I have a file jammed with stuff, all in no particular order. Some day, I'll get organized. I doubt that I saved it all, though...not over 3 decades.

That kinda paper work could be grounds for divorce.

I got Fred Flintstones' famous closet. Anyone old enough to remember that one? (hint; you open it and everything falls on your head).
