I just sold a 53,000 ORIGINAL OWNER So CAL 69 Camaro drop top.... didn't have an inch of any rust - or even the hint of it.

Way cheaper to pay up for good stuff than spend a year in body jail.

GREAT LAUGHS AT ALL THE "CRAP" THOUGH!! Seriously -- funny stuff.

Now you tell us! LOL!

So here's a couple of things I'd have liked to have said when I bought the 37 Ford... (I knew what I was buying, but still....)


#1 - Why would you spend good money on paint and stick the body over a chassis held together with chewing gum?

#2 - Brakes are a far more critical component than chrome.

#3 - Dude! That's an exhaust leak - not a "mechanical header sound".

#4 - A flip out black and white TV does not make up for that birds nest of wires.

#5 - Yeah... it would overheat in BAKERSFIELD, CA even though it has an electric fan.... 10V's to the fan might be more of a drawback than you think. Ya think?

#6 - That stud on the starter motor - might not be the best place to gang a half dozen accessories... unfused...

#7 - Remember that "big cam"? It must have gone flat when I found the vacuum leak. It went away completely when I bumped the timing from 4 to 12....



:lateral: :cheers: :woot:

When you have stuff like that -- there's a WAITING LIST of guys that want it - they sell themselves.

LOL

The line formed around the block and you had to have a tent to camp out for a couple of days "prior".

OK I'll play:

- Brushed on primer is not a substitute for a vinyl top
- Zap strapping the clutch to the floor board when you swap from manual to auto
- Glueing a beer bottle cap to the dash - for what reason I"ll never know
- thick layer of bondo overtop of rust in the 1/4's not a good way to repair rust. - see pic :lol:
- bashing in the firewall with a hammer to make clearance for a larger distributor is not a great idea.

I only drove 6 hours to come and look at the car, perhaps washing the 100+ piles of bird**** off it isnt too much to ask.
Aluminum foil is NOT a power steering cap.
Contrary to your belief, skull and crossbone stickers all over the interior is NOT cool.

You are right Ty. You are supposed to use cardboard. Everybody knows tin foil is too weak and thin.:D

I did this one to my car when I was in high school. Turned out to be one of the smartest things I ever did when I went back to a manual trans this past year.

Snip the zip tie, hook up the linkage and haul ass!
