Dang! Ya just got it fixed!

Already have another one . Purchased MattK's 1969. there was a lot more replaced on the 78 that I didn"t mention (all new lens in the 78 and all the dash bulbs are new plus various other small items. If I sell it its ok if i dont and the 69 doesn't have power steering-air cond-overdrive tranny-and a new top in time for RENO the 78 will be making the trip. I plan on taking the long way to RENO going north and running sections of route 66. My winter project is a complete restoration of hotrodcollectors 78 silver anniversary. as of this time there is nothing but the sheck in the shop-engine,tranny,interior, exhaust, bumpers,rubberseals,radiator and supports are all pulled and the engine compartment is cleaned and ready for detailing- will do some repair around the windshield area and the drivers side nut holding the seat has broken loose,and repair a crack on the drivers side read quarter, will replace the rear bumper with the pace car type bumper and put the pace care type spoiler on the front- then sand-prime-sand-prime-jelcoat-sand-replace rubber seals and windows-paint-color sand (basecoat clearcoat sort of a burgandy color with new buckskin colored interior seats will be replaced with the pace car type seats) and hopefully have it ready to go to reno. the engine and tranny have already been completed. This is just a quick overview of my winter project.
