so plans called for some cleanup (
), and start tearing down. The car had been sitting for a while, but I felt the love and potential [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
Plans are to keep this project relatively budget minded for the time being, the engine is a 400, and has a floor auto, and the car is overall very solid. Next steps on the project was a tough call on which color to go with (my last 67 was silver), and I wanted something along those lines. I really dig gunmetal gray or charcoal (Chris knows that lol
, but I did not want extremely dark, so I ended up finding my answer parking behind a girl driving her BMW M3 at work. Stalker!!!
So, since I teased earlier, here is is a fun add I found inside the glovebox inside an envelope [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img] The girl on the pic is actually the previous owner (Amina); she had the last 15 years, and was her baby for a while.
When I picked up the car in the mountains, close to Santa Cruz in CA, (Bolder Creek), the place I got to was out of a "Sons of Anarchy" kinda scene, the car was actually at her ex boyfriend's house... behind a couple trucks, some Buicks and some cool 55ish Chevies.
The front of the house, a biker group, actually pretty cool crew, once the "crap, I have all this cash on my pocket and am in the middle of nowhere with this gang" feeling passed, enjoyed some tri-tip and a beer with them as we loaded the car in my trailer.
