I've been working on the teener this week rying to get ready for the ECR. I got the rear glass replaced, new rear window seal, newly painted grill and engine lid and now working on the interior. I'm still fighting with the undercoating that was sprayed inside the car. What upset me last night was having my scraper slide easily between the floorboard and heater box. I also stumbled on some tape like stuff (F'Glass?) in a similar location next to the pedal board. I don't think this car is worth the investment it would take to make it right. With both sails gone, both drivers side fenders showing rust through and both doors without good seal areas, I'm just wasting money IMO.
Sooooo... How much would it cost for a GOOD chassis? How hard and how much time would it take to transfer all of my /6 stuff over? Is CA the only place to find a "rust-free" tub? Another thought too; could someone weld in a cage and install steel flares on a bare tub and make the neccasary /6 body mods then ship it East? Oh man, what have I gotten myself hooked on this time? |

Its all doable... but your east coast shops would probably charge you a lot less to have all that done (since they have to do it more than we do).
I have one decent rolling tub that needs a home. Its a early tub and I will ask 750$ for it. The tar paper on the floorboards has already been removed. I feel it is a strong solid chassis with no wrecks. Currently yellow. It would make a decent conversion car if approached correctly. B |
