Default Re: 67 Camaro next generation

Yes. Thanks though. I have 4 sets of seats. I am trying to sell off parts and clean up a, little. I was looking at pics of a 69 Chevelle restoration and thought guys might appreciate seeing what we are doing. I blew up in another thread about today's greed and one ups man ship. This is my hobby, and I'm an addict. I live it I breath it. But I am also realistic about what these cars and parts should be worth. I am proud to be associated with this young man. He has ALL the talent to do it. He just needed the nudge.. We all had a point in our life where someone helped us out. He deserves it. I am just lucky enough and blessed to be able to help him reach a dream he did not know he could attain. In the end my satisfaction will come when he drives it home for good and when he takes it to shows and can say that he did all the work. Our lives are a struggle in the community we live in. The average wage here is $13 an hour. He is married has a son and owns his home. He pays for the car as he goes. We plan purchases based on work we can do to make extra cash. He left where we met and a year later the place closed. He makes better money so the budget is not TIGHT. But don't think we do not watch every dollar. Ours is a story of a good kid getting a break. Also I am teaching him how to work on the old stuff. This needs to be passed on. Marlin that kid standing beside the 67 was me at 11. I still have my 67 convertible. 32 years now. The deal when our dad bought my brother and I each our first car was that we were not allowed to sell it. If that had to happen he got them back. My brother has a 55 Chevy 210 DelRey and I still have mine. And I put that stipulation on Mike. So he does not make the mistake of getting rid of it and someday regretting it.
