I want to keep this auction in mind myself, I started my restoration Feb
12 '03, and just finished everything I could. The body is at the body shop,
getting a fresh coat of Pimento Red. I should be done with the restoration by
April, but so far I've spend in the neighborhood of 15K. And I have not even
gotten into the interior yet, I'm waiting for the body to be finished.
New Powder coated chassis (old one was too much to rebuild and hogged)
Restored and media blated '72 Tub. (Original was done in by the tin worm)
New Fenders all around, (great deal on e-bay)
New brakes all around including brakelines and fittings
New brake drums and discs
Rebuilt Calipers, new rear cyliners, new pads, bearings etc.
Rebuilt Altinator
New Stainless Steel Exsaughst
Hot Coated the exsaughst manifold and down pipe cobalt black.
ZS carbs rebuilt and polished, along with the intake manifold.
All engine hardware now Stainless Steel
New Radiator and Water Pump, new Hoses and thermastat
New 3 turn steering rack assembly, and new tie rods etc.
All suspension hardware is new from MOSS
All New U-Joints, PC'd half shafts, driveshaft, new gators etc.
Rebuilt Engine and Transmission (J-type overdrive added)
New springs, shocks, polyurathane bushings entire car, trailing arms PC'd.
All suspension, bolt on engine parts, and drivetrain parts PC's
New Trunions, ball joints and hardware
All cousumeables replaced, all bolts, nuts and screws re-tourqued
New Mitch. redlines, with restored PC'd steel wheels and new trim rings
Restored the original lug nuts
Just bought new wiring harness (front and back) from Rimmer Bros.
I could go on and on here, with all the parts I've bought for the interior,
light lenses all around and the new restored chrome I just recived from
Limbardi in PA (WOW they do great work). But I do have to back to work.
Somebody's got to pay for all this.
