Andre: the body was shot with hot rod black paint. I wanted to avoid leaving it in primer. I'm pretty sure that original is about all I can swing right now....
I just need to do all the assembly and it's painful to discover that I need lots of little things and that those little things start adding up rather quickly.
For example: The new harnesses for the car will run over $700, the new distributor close to $300, new water pump, fuel pump, so on and so on at $40-50 bucks here and there... I probably need to cough up a few grand more in odds and ends before I'm ready to even start the re-assembly.
2 days to put a car together? That's hardcore! Sounds like one of those tv makeovers. I anticipate this reassembly taking some time. If you plan to find yourself in the area, let me know.
(I can use all the help I can get) I'd like to be able to say that the weather would be nice for folks wanting to make a visit to KY but it's ugly right now and looking to get worse. Maybe I'll just get some Bourbon and sit in the garage looking at the cars (since there's barely any room to work with both of them in there.)
It's supposed to drop to the single digits by next week... I REALLY hate the cold!
