>>>>> The mechanic does a really great job doing an idler arm re bush and front end rebuild. Tig welded the header and front pipe. A REALLY great part on fitting VOLVO brakes to the front with prices. Also rebork on the brake peddle arm for people with BIG FEET. Really informative.
>>>>> The car had no top frame. Chumley found one and the upholstery shop did a great job showing a frame refinish with a heat gun. That alone made the show worth while for me. I learned something. They redid the seats in correct material.
>>>>> 
>>>>>  The bad parts. Car had J C Whitney mirrors. REALLY CRAPPY red side trim. A front bumper made of chrome twigs from a lawn shed. In correct lights and grill.
>>>>>  Claimed to sell the car for $14000.
