It has been a while since my last update and there has been a lot of frustration with the shop where my car is at. This was supposed to be done at the end of every month since January and we are now getting close to the end of July and it still is not in my garage, so I have been a little...

Hey consider yourself lucky that the frame is in good shape. I bought a 72 project car a year and a half ago for what I thought was a good price of $8,500, but when the car was shipped to me from the east coast to me in California I found that the frame had extensive rust rot that was freshly...

The radiator does have a cap, but that is where I am confused because don't all radiators have caps?

I have a question whether I need an expansion tank on my 72 automatic with no air. I bought a basket case and there was not one attached at the time I bought. So my question, do I actually need one? If so, can I just buy any aftermarket overflow tank? or do I need the original style? Why are...

I just shopped around on the internet for car shipping companies and got quotes. I forgot what company shipped mine, they were based out of the southwest. I will look and see if I kept the receipt anywhere and let you know.

15K total....all the labor and the paint job. My wife is not too happy about this, but she got a new car last year, so that is how I justified it. As she says, I'm going to do what I want to do anyways, so why bother trying to stop me. As long as I don't put us in the poor house, I won't end...

Just checkin in to show the progress. The shop has been moving at a snails pace, but they are now picking up speed. They ran into some problems with the aftermarket front end that I purchased. The body did not match perfectly. First thing was that they had to cut the hood area because the...

Thanks

Did you install the control panel that comes with the kit or did you modify yours on the console to control the system?

I have a non a/c 72 350 with power steering and just bought a hotrod air system. Can you tell me what pulleys I need to modify it like your installation. Also, where did you install the control panel? Did you use the vacumm control area under the stearing columm? If so, where did you relocate...

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the encouragement fellas. I'll keep you posted. The shop hopes to have it all done by Christmas.

I just want to give an update if anyone cares where I am at, at this point. I have taken it in the shorts with this car and the only thing that I could do was go for the total restoration. The credit card companies love me at this point of the project. The car is nearly finished and I will...

Yah Yah I guess we sound pretty bad crying about all this, but my car is going to be NICE........when everything is all said and done.

I hear you. I hope you don't find anymore problems. It's not fun being in this position.
