Thanks guys.
I'm still around. Sorry it's been a while.
AND NO this wasn't me that was spotted at Myrtle Beach a while ago!! Looks like me though when I'm there!:D
$ are very tight right now so I haven't been hunting cars as much as I've been hunting dollars.
The past few weeks I have been restoring a 1973 Shasta 16SC for a girl out in California. She had purchased it about an hour away and contacted me for transport and storage till Oct. Then it turned into do repairs while it is here. AWSOME!!! It is starting to be a nitch I've found. Got another lady from mid OH who will be sending me her camper when she buys one. Burned up ebay with vintage camper parts from 2, that I scrapped. Stuff sold fast. Had a couple in from TX this past weekend. The lady is member of "Sisters on the Fly". They stopped and bought a front window I had from one I scrapped and said they would spread the word of my "fast,cheap,easy,sturdy repairs" and fair deals on parts. Cool, they are a pretty big club. So anyway right now I just got rear skin back on yesterday morning. Will be doing roof vents and other repairs till she gets here in Oct. Then I will start on my 63 Compact. Yellow top and green bottom to be painted in the next couple weeks.
I had gotten metal Aspen emblems (when I had some money) for the wagon off ebay. But sense the originals were plastic (and broke) the post holes in the fender were too big for the smaller metal post. So I finally had to use a combination of NAPA speed clip and a smaller plastic fastener inside that. The plastic ones I used were for the same as the back Special Edition emblems on back quarter. I also found metal Dodge square emblem for back trunk deck. I still have to repaint the letters in the same paint as on car to match like fuel cap. I also located an Aspen small script emblem for back that still had it's chrome.(plastic) To my knowledge, they didn't make a metal one of those. So all emblems on now but I haven't glued the back ones on yet. Still can't make up my mind where on back door to put them. Still have to put interior back in. Just waiting on funds so I can get insulation for roof.
FOTO went down with a head gasket coolant leak. They wanted $1500-2000 so that closed the scrap car gig untill I used 2 bottles of $30 leak stop from walmart and it worked!! Just got my ad back in the news paper. Hopefully be towing scrap real soon.
Hope to be back on here soon!
