Re: Are east coast and west coast that different?
 

I buy upwards of 10 plus west coast cars a year and ship them back. For the most part they are better but they also have rust. The Charger 500 I sold lived in the High desert and it need lower quarters, trunk repair and so on, as did all of the 1st gen camaro's they all have a little some thing somewhere. The interiors are always toast some even show signs of the package tray burning in the sun. Life's to short to deal with rust!!! Stick to the West for the best bring it east and show it the Love !!

A SOLID east coast project needs lower 1/4's, fenders, trunk pan, and at least one floor pan.

You said it. There is no such thing as finding a late 60s or early 70s musclecar just sitting in the weeds around here anymore. If the car wasn't stored indoors and off the road for much of it's life it doesn't exist anymore up here in Western PA. Remember this rustbelt 68 Chevelle SS396?

Speaking of shows, Jason, are you going to Hot Rods at the Beach? I just signed up for the event and bringing the Tirebird.

By the way, my favorite "judged" story was a local event in Northern California. I entered in the Tirebird as "70's modified". The judges eventually found my car in the middle of the afternoon. One asked, "why I enterted the "modified" class. I explained that my 71 T/A has an LS6 big block. The judge replied that because it was a GM engine, I should be in "stock". Using all my energy to hold back a laugh, I asked, "If I had installed a Saturn engine, would that still be stock?" He wasn't amused. I took a 2nd place.

When is hot rods at the beach this year? Hopefully not this weekend as I'm Tahoe bound.
