Replying to: lemmer (Dec 09, 2008 6:28 am) I was trying to think what body color would look good with a yellow hardtop, where you didn't have to paint it. Green body/ yellow hardtop? Black/yellow? That's about it unless you want to look really weird! |

My mechanic called me today, and wanted me to swing by during lunch to see the car. He found another problem with it. I had decided to have him replace the windshield, and sure enough, when he pulled it out, the area around the bottom of the windshield, which had been hidden by the bottom of the glass and the trim, was horribly rusted. It's not to the point that it's weakening the car...yet. Thankfully, he'll be able to fix it. He said the car might be ready by the end of the week, although I think that's a bit optimistic! I still don't know what the final total's going to be, but at this point I'm in it about $4100.

Replying to: lokki (Dec 09, 2008 10:32 am) '63 Wildcat -- that's top dollar. It had better be a top car. Factory AC is a good thing, worth more $$$. Original interior looks a bit tired, would be nice to see (and smell) it. Engine and engine bay look redone. RE: Saab Sonnett -- I don't want to crash in a 70s fiberglass car under any circumstances. RE: Fiat 850 -- on the other hand, it's a small target.

Replying to: lokki (Dec 09, 2008 10:32 am) Yeah, as much as I like my mid-70's mastodons, even I'll admit a '76 Bonneville is pretty lame compared to that '63 Wildcat! That thing is pretty sweet! |

Replying to: andre1969 (Dec 09, 2008 10:05 am) Is the Desoto next for a freshening? I think my fintail is going to eventually eat up a little change, too. The tires and brakes are a decade old now, it needs a valve adjustment minimum as it smokes a little when the engine is hot, there's some kind of leak as the underside is grubby - I hope it is just an oil pan gasket, but it is all so dirty I can't tell, and I still consider having the body cleaned up. One of these days...or maybe not.
