2ManyZs Posted January 3, 2003 Share #11 Posted January 3, 2003 Hmm, let's see. Paint the underside of the 71 and put the suspension back on it that has already been rebuilt. Put an engine back in it, have to decide which one first... Start the body work for a re-paint possibly by next year:cross-eye Either strip the wrecked car or strip the parts car to fix the wrecked one. Try to find the floor in the garage again.... Get one car as a roller and the other one out of the way, paint the floor of the garage, which should have been done long ago...:stupid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
