Finally with cash on the way its time for the rebuild!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my wife finally made the mistake of agreeing to use 13k to rebuild my 72' Vette. My question is can it be done for 13k???? Of course it could probably be on the road for much less but.... With much regret it will be put together by a local shop instead of my blood, sweat, and beer's... If you have done a similar build please give me some advise. Here is my parts list so far:
