Hi Everyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) - Thanks for checking in on my Six. If you caught my other thread, Cairo's Six, http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=188776 you may have noticed my Six has been at ScottyB's shop in VA for a while and Scotty did a lot of work.

I am happy to report I picked up my car on the July 22, 2017 and it is now in Torrance, CA in the capable hands of Kent Simmons (914350). If you saw Andy's (Socalandy) and Jim's (banananose914) Six build threads, you are already familiar with Kent's work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Kent accepted the challenge of finishing all of the metal work, body work and then painting my car. Kent will be assessing the condition of the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) as received and getting to work. It is important at this point he knows what he is dealing with and everything is rock solid before the next evolution begins. So stay tuned as my Six gathers speed.

Ben - I really don't know. I just know that it will go as fast as Kent, Andy, Jim and maybe a couple others can go. I will not be impeding the build in any way.
When it comes to major parts still needed, I am not aware of any really. I know I need a new windshield (tinted), suspension blasted and powder coated, upholstery done (we already have the leather), carpets, bumpers finish metal and body work and then chromed, almost all weather strips and seals, starter, fuel pump, battery, new F&R bumper pads, license plate lights, CV joints and axles, a clear lens high-mount LED 3rd brake light custom fabbed into the top of the "Targa" bar in the SS trim, and a few other items. I did have new large tube SS heat exchangers and muffler on the list, but now that is handled (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . I am really excited about that. So hopefully this will go smoothly and we will see it come together nicely. |
