re: will it ever stop !

[crankshaft]

Well car has been at bodyshop for maybe a month now, he convinced me in getting new drip rails (old were dull ) , new headlight bezel (bent and damaged) , new rear bumper , new doors and trunk weatherstrip, while i was shopping got some new trim rings, new 327 emblems , and some decals. All from ... opgi . I shoped around and their price was reasonable. This just adds to my last list which I thought was final . Oh well ! ;- )

I hate to say it but no, it never ends. But its worth it :)

[Ms Grumpy]

It goes on and on and on and on and on and on....

But it is worth it !!

Reminds me of the song that never ends from Sesame Street. God I miss those days.:)

Even when they are done they are not really done.

Even when they are done they are not really done.Amen to that, drip rails can be polished without replacing them.

These cars are 40+ years old, of course it never ends. Heck, even the newer daily drivers need attention now and then.

[Ms Grumpy]

But worth every minute...

Yup, we had all of our original trim polished for about 10 bucks a foot. It came out beautiful !

On my recently done Belair, I kept a spreadsheet on the 'puter. NEVER again :D If it was a business, yep but as a hobby, naw not going to keep track on the next one.

[Ms Grumpy]

I guess since this is the first car we have taken this far in a restoration, I am glad that I have kept all the purchase orders. I know I will one day look at them and say "Holy Crap I spent that much". But for right now, the folder is sitting on the bookshelf.

I mention to my vendor that some day I was going to add up all the invoices I have from him and he said that he could tell me what I have spent already. He told me the total, and that was my words "Holy Crap".

Hello y'all ,
Stopped by the bodyshop today , after discussing he convinced me to keep the orignal drip rails (said he saved them , not cracked )and weatherstrips are in like new condition , so we will be keeping those as well. Good news after all. I'm waiting for a return email from opgi concerning my last order and my new order ,,, all I can say is that its been a couple of days now and no answer. I mean I ordered quite a bit over the last 2-3 years now , and i get better service at Mcdonalds! and they don't know me !!! Oh well, just letting out a bit of frustration.

Believe me,this is the place to vent.:)

I feel your pain. It's easier to get a quick answer by phone.
