Hard for a body shop to do restorations when they make lots more money doing insurance work. I understand the frustration Rich I've had to deal with customers wanting to get their car restored and have to wait for years before the body shop even starts working on them.
If I had the time and energy I'd get your car done but I have all I can handle right now.
Might want to do it yourself because it would be done faster and plenty of us body men on Fabo to help.

This shop has had it twice, they did a very small amount of work on it first time it was in then didn't touch it. You know that saying, fool me once shame on you.... If I wasn't in a rental and was retired I would certainly screw it up myself lol! Thanks for the kind words, yes it's frustrating. Wait list is 1 year at shop in Meridian ID, we may be retired and over there by then or maybe in 2027 but no later.

Well if I can help if you do it yourself let me know Rich.

Thanks Fred I appreciate that but will go the shop route. Survived that with son's Firebird, unfortunately that car got totaled from the rear end after son had only had it on road 6 months or so, good news is nobody in his car was injured and of course the faulty hitter had no insurance so that was fun!

Nice car. Just not a 20k car to me.

Bench seat auto

Maybe 12 - 15

Thought I'd share a couple pictures of what the 63 Fury went through. It was a convertible and now a hard top. I didn't cut and section it, the owner did all that and did a hell of a good job. It was off a bit but nothing major.

Major restoration going on there Fred

Of course we read back....well some of us. Mitch was trying to explain his way out of a curious situation.

Like I told all of you guys before, those of you who choose to stay in the dark will remain in the dark and not know their surroundings. This gives me the tactical advantage. I love it

Merry Christmas to all my friends here on FABO. It is Christmas day here in Saigon but you wouldn't know it. Most things go on as normal. People going to work, cafes open ,all stores open. Haven't seen much Christmas decoration here, although there are plenty of Catholics and I have seen some. Maybe today I will go by the Gold Exchange store by some trinkets for Lynda. She will be surprised. I don't think they really exchange gifts at Christmas here.

I knew you'd love it was a Lada. LOL

I still love those cars but I gave up the idea of ever finding one in middle America.

It's OK, the valiant is just a bigger lada and a whole bunch more reliable than a lada

The volga v8 would be the one to find. Close to a 273.... 4.5 litre V8

this one has a miss but the 4 speed sounds good
