I wish I lived next door so I could help clean some parts at least. :clapping:

So, we have $1,200 worth of funds... are we going to be able to get the body and paint done with that?

Me thinks we need another 50/50 or somethin, body supplies & paint don't come cheap, that alone will probably chew up (& then some) the 1,200.
Fishin, could you do a rough est of what you will have to lay out just for supplies, putty, sand paper, primer, cleaners, paint, clear coat, well you know better than I, lots of little stuff that adds up real quick.  Rich.

I'm picking it up today.  Is there a dash cap somewhere that I'm suppose to use??  It shouldn't take too long to finish the dash, I have a few parts ready in case I need them.   :grinyes:  :thumbsup:


Car is looking SWEET! 

4Cruizin, Is this the reason for the PM?  If so, call me. 2565312156  I leave out sunday for a month.
