Cool. That's allot of project.... Here I wouldn't
think twice of getting one of those from the swapmeet. Course here the
pickings are getting slim. Keeping an eye out on a mainly complete 66 T bird
for Geri(she wants a vert but they were very rare). If a cheap but complete
one shows up It'll end up in the garage for a future project when the house
rebuild is further along. Found a couple $400 ones back before we were in
the house but now nothing...
Weather here is still 100*+ every day and 80* at
night. No change hot and humid. Looked at your schedule and looking for an
opportunity... Got a couple 12 foot sliding doors to put in a house and trim
out, so gotta schedule around that etc. The doors were almost 10K just for
the doors....
