My car restoration is nearly done!
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007I was feeling really bummed out today. This guy who I thought I connected with never called again, and I’m pretty sure it’s because I told him I have hairy pits. So, feeling really crappy, I figured I’d call my mechanic who yelled at me a lot last time I called, was really rude, etc. Can’t get worse, right?
Oh man, the car is weeks away from being done. I’m trying to remember all he told me .. engine is in, carb is in, distributor is wired up, steering column column is in, brake booster is on, power steering is in, conversion to automatic is done (waiting for the Hurst shifter, though) and they need some small electrical things before they can start it for the first time. Custom exhaust is done. Starter wired up (the wires had been cut). He went on and on and I’m going there tomorrow with my camera to check it out.
I know I need that visor and a headliner bow, and need the stereo installed. I don’t know if the seats need to be redone and refoamed. I have pics of the interior and know when I bought it he said they’d just been done.
I have my computer stud coming in tomorrow, and an electrician (don’t ask about the burning wire smell when I turn on the light fixture, oy vey) and once they leave I am off to check out the car.
I have my camera all ready and am SO excited!
Met someone for coffee yesterday but I felt no spark. He had no personality, knows nothing about old cars, mumbles and was just not my type at all.


Not so gross and not that hairy, huh?
