You do great work!
Very difficult to find a shop that does what you do. The only shop I know of locally has an 18 month waiting list.

Todays cars are safer, no question.
But if every 60's and 70's car deserves the "deathtrap" name, why take the risk of driving one on occasion? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: William</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Relative to todays cars and what has been learned every '60s-'70s car deserves the "deathtrap" name. Watch the IIHS Malibu vs 59 Chevy test. They also did a 61 Cadillac vs 03 with much the same result. Plenty of others on You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joMK1WZjP7g Nothing wrong with having an old car and driving it on occasion. Driving it daily is asking for trouble. </div></div>

I am on the fence if I want to start doing work for other people. I have said this before, I enjoy restoring them more than driving them. So with that being said why not get paid for what I enjoy doing. I have a couple people after me to restore there car next. LOL! Tommy don't worry the L79 has my full attention. I can't wait to hear that L79!

Make the 1964 Nova a killer sleeper! Put a stock appearing warmed over 327 or 350 into it , keep the 3 speed, and put a posi in it and it will make a fun and cheap little first car!

We didn't have bicycle helmets, rarely wore seat belts, drank full strength milk, ate butter, played outside in the street every day, walked to and from school, didn't have cell phones, no sneakers with built in lights, no GPS, no rear view cameras, no airbags and no internet !!
It's remarkable we survived to be able to be part of the SYC forum today [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]...in fact it's a damn miracle [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] wilma What ever happened to Lincoln Logs [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

I agree with Hemicolt. It's a buy at the asking price. You can have fun with it and teach your kid how to drive. You'd pay more than that to hire someone to teach him that.
Verne A guy ought to learn to drive in a car that actually requires driver's skills rather than a car that you just point and press. |
