I get that. Just saying that politics aren’t welcome. Just an FYI.

I dont need you to tell me what the rules are-- thats not your place.
I have stated that it was strictly a time line reference-- get it?

I think the white and maroon combination looked pretty good too!
Just a cherry car ,nicely done.
A buddy of mine fully restored a 71' f150 sport custom when we were younger. He did a few personal touches like a white vinyl top with a quit diamond pattern with matching interior.
I hope your venture foward is successful.

It didn't look terrible, but the interior was a bit off with the red carpet, maroon dash, black seats and pimped out steering wheel! Still a fun driver until I ran into someone at a stop sign in Georgetown, TX in September 2006. I was too busy ogling the lady cutting grass in Daisy Dukes and a tank top in the field next to the road and ran into the back end of a Durango...

Here's what's up next. 68 Lemans convertible (now a GTO clone). I built a strong pump gas 455 for it (close to 500 hp with ported iron heads, forged bottom end, etc), built the TH400, 11" converter, and installed a 3.90 geared rear. Got about 150 miles on it and the transmission gave up the ghost, so I need to give it another shot. My buddy in Fayette-Nam, NC did the body and paint. It's a factory '68 color.

Anyway, the plan is to finish it up and sell it as well. It was supposed to be a "quick flip" (wife loves to remind me of that), but I've had it for 10 years...

How much more money are you looking to lose, I mean, raise Mr Pruf?

Probably about the same amount - I expect it to sell for about 50 cents on the dollar.

I’m telling you to lighten up. And yes it is my job to do so.

OK
But it takes two to tango
& I didnt start it

Seriously!?! Why do you think I replied to you? You flew off the handle like a petulant little kid. You got your feelers hurt and claimed you wouldn’t post here anymore. I’ll say it again no ifs, ands, or buts…“lighten up dude” and take a week off from this thread for arguing about it for good measure.

Scott,

How did the sale work out? Is the new owner pleased with the deal he got.

Bill - I actually haven't heard from him since the car arrived.

Those things always make me a bit uneasy, folks need to have the courtesy to tell you if they are happy.

Agreed.
