72 demon 340 resto

holy crap!!!!!!!!! i got my price quote back to remove the pits in my center console top(a thin strp about 4" long+some in the ash tray} 700.00. NO THANKS. thats just pits. no chrome. lol.
i don t know what i ll do yet, but i know i can get a whole repop top for 500. i was kinda trying to do some homework and see if i could drill them and solder them myself. any reccomendations?????

awhile back i found a replacement right rear wheel lip moulding for the set i bought a long time ago from layson's. its an original and was kinda rough, so i spent a lot of time sanding and polishing that one piece so it looked as good as the others from the kit. long story short...right before i painted the car i mocked up the rears and was gonna drill the holes and i went in the attic and got the """FRONTS""' down to do the same only to find that they weren t fronts at all........they were swinger rears...that sucked. so i found a nice original set of fronts from a member and spent this morning sanding and polishing. lol
