QUOTE Going for that Dave Darling look? Did you repo his car from him? It looks like his. Good luck with it Sorry. DD copied me. Its been in my family since 1976. QUOTE With grad school and all, do you have any time frame for completing it? Do you envision it as a full out strip and restore, or is it a drive and restore-as-you-go type project? Its my only P-car outlet so I'm going to take full advantage of it. I figure 2-5 hours a week tops. Hi_Fi_Guy's advice on having a clear vision of what I want is what I'm looking to perfect upfront here. Here's how I see it right now: stock chassis- fully cleaned and painted - most likely undercoating NOT reapplied - will need a rotisserie; powdercoated black parts - glossy; Fuchs - refinished similar to stock (Bowlsby's come to mind), SR 165's, interior is a big ?? but the 8 track tape player may go (or stay if I can't find an original AM/FM). As I mentioned, I'm looking for some nice tricks to enhance the car but keep it looking really good - ie nicer leather, carpet, chrome fog grills. I also want to talk to folks who have restored a car where every nut, bolt, trim, and gasket were right and perfect. This car does mean a lot to me as its my tribute to my Dad and is the vehicle of the happiest days of my childhood. Thats about it. |
