Just glad that it really wasn't the "hood"...grin.

I've given you a fair amount of good natured ribbing Dave
but you're a badazz, that's all there is to it.
mad skills, put to a labor of love, this has been so fun to witness
though I would like to see the video when Weezy asks to borrow the car for the weekend.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Very cool Dave. Hey what's that red car in the back of the garage? Is that the wife's?
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I purchased that one with my "imminent danger pay" from desert shield/desert storm. 1966 chevy caprice. 327/powerglide, full framed with trailing arm/coils in the rear, it's a sweet ride. All 3 of our kids came home in that car after they were born, it was also our wedding car over 21 yrs ago. It's in the resto queue. and yes, I did give it to Pam some years ago

Very nice Dave.
I never tried a vinyl top. But yours looks great.
And a BIG one too. Looks like a King sized bedsheet!
Can I add my project car into your line up?

Could you really get your moneys worth out of this IF you were not keeping it? Would love to see ya get your creative hands on a vintage Challenger.

As usual, beautiful work Dave!
Boots- I would bet that Road Runner would bring a premium, if it were to be sold privately or at auction. It's a numbers-matching car that has its body restored to its factory tag. Not everyone is looking for a rotisserie car these days; drivers being a lot more useful for the dollar.
An awful lot of restorations these days are not only nicer than the factory made them in the first place, but they're too nice to drive and enjoy.
Dave has this one just right.

Depends on your idea of getting my money out of it.
What my check book contributed to the project and what I contributed to the project are 2 different things. Could I recoup what my checkbook has invested so far? Yes, easily. Checkbook plus my time... I think so, but it becomes a question of how well am I paying myself for my labor.

An hour behind the wheel around town and you'll have gotten your money back and then some... Damn I wish you'd finish that baby and put up a video. I've been sitting quietly waiting but I'm gettin' freakin' impatient. Damned nice work and a good lookin' ride.

If you did sell it you should at least get minimum wage based on the quality of the work. "A" for effort though. Sorry Dave.
