This poor thread!!! (sob sob sob....) actually, it's been quite amazing where this thread has gone!!!
As for my car, alot has transpired! The car is back, a great job on the top! I pul;led out the interior, and still gathering a few parts, and plan to re-assemble it this weekend. The weather has been cold and snowing, and my one-car garage is cramped! So, It's hanging out, waiting for good weather to return.
My list of things already done:
1. Cleaned out trunk, power-washed, all mats cleaned, wax surfaces, some simple detailing, and put back in a quality order.
2. Replace throttle cable bracket with a proper one for a 4-BBL carb, so gas pedal is in the right position.
3. Add chassis grounding cable from battery to body.
4. Remove ENTIRE interior, including dash, radio, EVERYTHIG!!!
My list of things to do:
1. Install new rugs.
2. Install rear interior panels from WORTH (once I get them & clean them)
3. Re-face guages with gray decals. (for fun! removeable)
4. Remove fancy stereo, and replace with a simple system that can be sold with the car.
5. Install new dash pad.
6. Install new weatherstripping.
7. Align doors and windows.
8. Clean, re-finish, repair scratched interior panels.
9. Replace all missing screws
10. Anything else interior needs that is simple.
11. Color sand paint, then compund and polish to hopefully shiny lustre.
12. repair / replace hockey stick trim around top.
13. power wash and re-detail motor and engine compartment.
14. Clean everything else!
Then.......
Re-Install the FOR SALE sign, and drive it as much as possible!!
Just a small list!
Meanwhile, back in the gutter, we re-join our party of flounderers, conemplating the correct jelly beans....
(I apologize for this reality interruption....)
