Parts ordered

Post by racydave »

Parts ordered for a total of over $700.00! Thats more than I paid for her! The total bare metal strip uncovered more issues than I thought, but with the cost and trouble of a good paint job, I guess its all good. Glad Carol is in love with the Fiat too! I did splurge for a rear sway bar. And I could try and save the rear upper valence, but Im going to keep her for a long time. Also ordered a blower motor, cauz when the console goes into place, I wont want to take it back apart! Have yet to order a conv top... :roll: Just getting impatient. My body-buddy is not as motivated as I am... :(

Had I known... I got a few of those blower motors. I also have a brand new IAP black vinyl top for a CS2 chassis, still in the box, never installed. I have a CS1 and can't use the top. Also cutting up a 76 car if you need sheet metal pieces.

Thanks for the concern. I have been looking at Robbins vinyl tops, just hav'ent ordered one yet. I took my old top off when I got the hard top, and strongly suspect it will need a header bow. It is a CS-2. PM me about the top, and Matt, thanks.
