[Tigers] Llooking at a car/restoration and parts $$$

[sralsten at ca.rr.com]

I'm not sure how this list works as far as responding to things. I posted my Newbie
note recently and got several responses. I think I sent a thanks to each, but if not
I do so now. Several suggested attending at Big Bear which was already in my plans.

I am going to take a look at a car in N LA County fairly soon, before having the chance to meet people at Big Bear. If there is an owner in the area that could manage a trip to Palmdale to help me make a decision please let me know. I have virtually no experience with Tigers yet except the  things I've read on the net and in my first two books for the past 2 weeks.

Is there anyplace on the net that I can find prices either firm or approximate for
parts or restoration or repair. For example I know the car I'm going to see has a lousy wood dash. How much to replace or refinish ? How much to rebuild a Ford V8 ? How much to replace a stock carb ? How much to replace clutch or transmission ? It would be very helpful to have a better feel than I now have for what various defects will cost.

Thanks in advance

Steve
