How bad did I drop the ball?

Well...after six months, and it's finally DONE! It ended up costing roughly $300 more than the original quote...but it's also got new drums in the rear, new brake lines all around, new master cylinder, and he got my choke working right. I got it out of his shop the day before Thanksgiving, and got it aligned the day after Thanksgiving(8 hours in the alignment rack)...and it drives like a completely different car. Stops quick/straight, and is more nimble than a 41 year old car deserves to be. And for $150, I got my mechanic to throw in an original dual-snorkel hood scoop he's had hanging on his wall since 1980-something.:cheers:
