I am getting a little frustrated, was patiently waiting for my body man as he is the best around here, he only does so many rustorations and is worth waiting for, within reason. I was expecting to be at the stage of putting my car back together by now, passing the safety inspection and driving around a bit. Car would be not even close to being done but at least at the stage where it is stuff I can do and pick at over time and as cash allowed. Now I find he has sold his shop and is building a new one but that backs me up at least a year. Is it reasonable to expect to be able to buy a decent body or am I just gonna have to wait for my guy to finish his new shop and be 5th or 6th in line after that?

Mike does have a good tub and I have a good body man, 914 experience, not cheap (but not outrageous), but for a painted bare roller we're talking 3-5 weeks ready to go. .
No BS, no excuses. Just did one for Mike, once we have a tub we can tell you how long and how much. Mike would do a possible tub trade, as long as he's making some coin on the deal. I am shutting down, I wouldn't do it for anyone else and I won't do this "later". Now or never type deal. FOB Ontario though.... Mike also has a creamsicle LE, painted, but not together. He was asking $14,000 completed, don't know what kind of deal he'd want for it "as is". |
