Building cars for a living is a double edged sword, it can be good and bad.
Sometimes at the end of the day the last thing I want to do is work on my stuff. Kind of like the general car mechanic driving the worst car..lol

Very difficult to find a shop that does what you do. The only shop I know of locally has an 18 month waiting list. </div></div>

Wow thanks. I am on the fence if I want to start doing work for other people. I have said this before, I enjoy restoring them more than driving them. So with that being said why not get paid for what I enjoy doing. I have a couple people after me to restore there car next. LOL!

Tommy don't worry the L79 has my full attention. I can't wait to hear that L79! </div></div>

buy him a chevy cavalier or a VW bug to run around in. You can get sticks in those cars. I would not buy anything I would have to work on for a beater to and from school. Buy throw-a-way models. JMO.

It might be best for you to get a throw-a-way like some have said but the asking price is good especially if it's a solid car. As said earlier, all &quot;older&quot; cars can be considered death-traps. -Where do you want to draw the line: anti-lock breaks, air bags, active seat belts, dual res master cylinder, collapsible steering column (1967),...

For '64 all Chevy II/Nova models had 5-lug hubs and bigger brakes (than '62-3). Brake size was shared with many heavier cars (9.5x2.5&quot; front, x2&quot; rear). Wheels were 13&quot; standard with a 14&quot; option and that's an easy change to 15&quot;.
