Arizona Swinger

Sent a 'boat-load' of stainless out to be polished....have decided since I have all of the trim that would have come on this car, I'm going to install it. Didn't originally have wheel opening and drip rail moldings, but am going to install them, since I deleted the body side moldings and am not going to install a tail stripe, and want all the shine I can get to offset those two colors of green.

Also disassembled the seats, cleaned the frames and tracks, and will send out to be blasted, then repainted glossy black before they go to the upholstery shop. Have done some upholstery work in the past, but I have a shop that is very good and very reasonable, and they should really look good when they come back.

When I start adding up the costs of doing this car, my mind seems to go back to the fact that this car cost less than 3k new! We'll have close to 300 hours in the body and paint work alone which would more than pay for this car new.....probably would have paid for several of them!
