Well, in your very first post you plainly stated that your wife "insists" that whatever you put "in" to the car, you are able to get "out". Then you go on to say that you would enjoy it with the intention of selling it in 5 years!!
My whole point is that taking those parameters into consideration, it is a losing proposition from the start!!
<snip> I'm currently spending over $1000 on the dash refinish alone for Nellas 67 Cuda. Not even batting an eye and can't wait to make the final payment for my bezels ($750 alone). Will I ever recoup that??? Not a chance, but I could care less, I'm going to be spending a lot of time staring at it through the coming years!!!
Again, good luck getting the car, I hope you do and join the ranks of 67-9 Cuda ownership here!! Geof
