I got ripped off in the body shops. I was very nieve in the begining.
I spent over 90k so far, I did buy GM parts whenever possible GM fenders were $600 ea, etc etc The only thing I can say is that although I got ripped off bad, This is 100% ground up rebuilt to my specs.
I say rebuilt, because it was not restored in true sense of the word. All the lame dudes get a earl schives paint job & call it restored 100%.
heavily updated, New 350 (original 327 2 barrel carter + Gum), Monster 700r4(Blew, shattered, the original powergile 4th of july, 09 : pics to follow & move upon request), 8.5 - .383 Posi (Unknown open end most likely .283 or .308), New Interior, all new wireing, original 4-wheel manual drums (upgraded to Stainless steel brake co., 4 wheel power disk), weld subfram cinnecters etc etc etc etc etc etc.
I got hooked on the "Mind as wells", If your doing this, you mind as well do this, etc etc etc etc etc.
But again This is my car built to my specs, & to sit here with the keys in my hand is F'N Priceless.
