Dave,
I need some advise from you. Like i said it's been setting for 25 years with only that red oxide primer on it and in several places there's some surface rust that showed up. My question: will I have to remove all of the primer just to make sure I won't have problems in the future?
We sandblasted the whole car when we started the project, put metal prep on and primered it. Then we took it to a body shop and put it on a frame straightener because the left front fender was wrinkled and then went on and replaced the floors and other areas that were rusted out. I had a bodyman put the quarters on. No body work has been done.
As far as an engine, there's three 289 engine blocks bored out to the max, one set of heads redone, two set of cams and lifters. I've got several crank shafts but they will have to be turned. No rods or pistons. I found a guy with a slightly modified 289 that wants $1300.00 for it. It's got 6500 since it got rebuilt....... is that a good price?
There's lots of extra parts that I'll be selling; 302 engine, headlight assemblies, hoods, hubcaps, a coupe parts car and misc stuff that I won't be using.
