Thanks man... my dad and I have put a ton of work into the car, so I do love hearing the compliments. The car cost me $10k originally and it was a piece of shit when I got it. I've dumped about $6k to get it where it is today. The rims and wheels cost about $1k. Paint another $1k which I got at Sherwin William. I paid a local shop another $1.5k to paint it. The rest of the cost went in various parts -- new windshield, suspension, interior, engine rebuild, etc. Keep in mind that this includes no labor costs. With the exception of the paint, my dad did all of the work and didn't charge me for it. I couldn't imagine what it would have cost had I brought it to a shop to do the work for me. Unfortunately, as I said in my post, the car still isn't done. I need to redo the front engine wiring harness, get the motor doors working for the lights, a new stereo system, alarm system, A/C, heat, etc. I don't think the car will ever be done.

I love classic cars but don't have the time they take to rebuild one right now. Maybe I'll post some pics of the motorcycle resto I'm working on later. Nice car Zero. Link to comment

Damn your so lucky. Labor would be a bitch. Just wish I knew more about internals. Or that my dad knew something beyond turning on the radio.. Link to comment
