It's been a Tedious Project filled with a lot of "JUNK" repro parts.....some good Parts......and "Good" people....I'll pass on the "Bad" experiences and talk about the "Good".........The car was pained by Pulera Collision Center in Kenosha, wi.......Great people to deal with....The Engine was built by Don's Automotive, also in Kenosha.....again "Great people......"Just Dashes" in California are the Greatest.......Vintage Stitch in Salem, Wi....did a great Job on the Seats and Headliner......Eric at Vintage Muscle Cars did the Carb......Again...."Thumbs Up" to Eric.....
The biggest problems I had were not checking the parts against the originals when they came in....I assumed that the parts would be correct......It's just getting worse with some of the suppliers.......I had the best luck with "Ground Up" and D&R ..........Would I do it again....."You Betcha"......Already got something on the back burner.......

Fantastic. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif


In a way I'm kinda sad to see her finished since so many of us looked forward to the daily/weekly updates and stories. But I know how much this guy enjoys what he's doing so I'm betting we'll be treated to another saga before long.

I can't wait to see her in person Friday afternoon, but even better than that..... we get to spend some more time with Ken & Paulette. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Drive safe my friend.

Ken...awesome is all I can say! Have fun with "the crew" at the Gibb show. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
 

Ken....just an outstanding job you've done restoring this car. This thing gives me a woody for sure! This has been one of the most interesting threads on the site to date. You have something to really be proud of here, an outstanding and beautiful car. When will you be bringing the car down here locally so I can take a close look first hand? My hat is off to you my friend!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
