So I'm sure this will end up towards the top of my list of bad ideas.

I have a really clean 75' roller I bought as a 2 for 1 deal with 73' parts car.

I've decided to reassemble enough of it to make it driveable to WCR

it has a franken-motor in who knows what condition

Trans is there and it shifts by hand easily

The rest of the car is in boxes or in it's trunk/frunk

I'm going to start on Saturday and document the shenanigans just for comedic purposes.

Wish me luck!

I assembled a bare chassis in 28 days before a Ramble, so I know it's possible.... but I was in my late 20s at the time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Stay focused and dedicated.

Steve, are you referring to your car as a piece of Silver? I'm sure it can't be anything less than that.

How it starts, need to take care of all the surface rust from sitting in primer for 20+ years

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1084.photobucket.com-22446-1557057445.1.jpg)

One side done before having to get everything packed for the swap meet the next morning.

Looks like a clean shell.. I need you to send me a clean on of those someday.

No respray, just going to run the primer as the car will probably be sold after the event and the new owner can choose the color.

@mb911 let me know what you want and I'll find it for you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

What does everyone use to plug the front bumper shock holes?
Make a plate or is there a rubber grommet that will work?
