If you are following a long you know I’m on the hunt for my next project car and boy are my fingers tired and I can’t get this thing off of me:
Maybe WD40?
It’s a lot of work when you search nationwide. Setting up searches on different web sites and on those that don’t offer that feature you are continually recreating the same search. Then there are emails with questions like, “Is it still available?’ and other questions that often get ignored. Here’s an actual example: (Setup – the ad said make an offer)
Welcome back to Average Guy’s Car Restoration. I’m still on the hunt for my C3 (I almost bought a 1971 Mach I – the price was right, but it has some ownership issues – they couldn’t prove who owned it!!)
Most of you know that I don’t have sponsors for Average Guy’s work. But I do not mind plugging something I enjoy or a product that works great.
You’ve seen a couple of posts on PetrolBox before. It’s no surprise that I’d present another.
They have multiple levels. This box is medium-priced. Check them out at mypetrolbox.com.
Enjoy the video.
I’ll have more coming up including bringing back some old favorites.
As I mentioned last time (and again in this video) I am searching for my next project.
With #ProjectSportsRoof settled in its new home and getting ready for paint, I’m looking for my always coveted C3.
I’m going to chronicle the search here and in my group on Facebook Average Guy’s Car Restorations and Projects https://www.facebook.com/groups/448659875541893.
When I added the Delta 45’s to #ProjectSportRoof – #SR73, the tailpipes came up short. I’m not sure why that happened and I’m not sure why I didn’t notice it. But hey it gave me a quick project while I’m on our fall break.
I was going to polish up the ends but I’m going to shop for some chrome ends. Drop Me some suggestions.
I was chatting with someone online about cars and I recalled driving home with my first Mustang project car. It was a 1970 Coupe, not fastback, or Mach I, not even a Grande. You can still find so of the work on that car here on my blog. I purchased the car in Phx, Az. from a lady who got the car from her mom. Her mom was the first owner. It was 6 cylinder (250) with a/c and in pretty good shape. I remember driving it down the freeway not knowing much about it mechanically and I didn’t want to temp fate by turning on the a/c, just needed it to make back to Tucson. I wish I had recorded that drive, but it would not have been comparable to the ride home in #ProjectSportsRoof. Now that one I did record.
So, I thought I’d put together a quick video showing the drive home and toss some before pics and a “now’ video snippet. Here ya go!
Notice I didn’t tout the “now’ snippet as the “after” because it’s not complete….then again, in the world of project cars, is there ever really and “Final” after?
