very little time...good thing the body shop is slowwwww.
got most of the stuff thats important done...
short block= done and assembled heads = done tranny = ok body = bodyshop prison(maybe will be done in 3-6 months?)
the interior and top can wait,main thing is to be able to start it up and be able to move it in and out of the garage.
if i have to i can drive it with the old interior, and top.
i've been buying parts for this car since i've been 18 now i'm 34. i think i might have a chance of gettiing done by next year, i have only been serious on the car for the last couple years or so and it's made alot of progress. sad thing is most people here in the kc area get jelous and try and destroy the car, (i've had to prior paint job atempts) and this is the second time i have had my frame sandblasted and painted.
i guess anything worth doing is worth doing twice or three times.
i think this will be the time the car gets painted and the frame gets painted correctly.
if not i think i'll load it up and take it to the recycler.
why is there always so much drama when it comes to redoing an old car? i mean if it was a 4 door tempest or something it would proably be done by now, it's like everyone around here has to put there mark on it. "stock" is just not go enough.
anyways the more i think about it stock is the way to go, must be since everyone is so dead agaist it.
man if i had a quater for everytime i've heard "you should clone a ta" or "put a 400 hood on it"
sorry to vent on you guys. i think it will be a nice change to see a 350 vert with a flat hood for a change. most around here have a 400 or a 455.
