Ok, so we were supposed to be working on the car today, but we realized we're more broke than we thought. 


SOOOO...

We're not trying to steal your money 


But our collective income this last year was under $2,500 


We'll eventually get it done, but your help would be very very appreciated. Be looking for an update for sure next week.

PM me with your name, town, and state. We have a good spot for it on the trunk lid. 



Yes you are, that car is hopeless without a very large budget.

Our goal is not total restoration. Simply to make it driveable. It'll have some personal flair, and we want to make it fun. If we weren't doing that, it'd rot.


Even if we did have the money for a total restoration, we probably wouldn't. It's not worth that in sentimental value, or monetary value. It would cost a lot more to restore than it is worth.


Check back from week to week, we'll show you some hope 


Most people have more money than time, others have more time than money - we're "others," and if we did have money, we probably wouldn't have time to work on this project. Thanks everyone for keeping up.

Do it, man! If you don't have the money to do a full resto, just do what you have to to get it on the road and safe to drive. You can always do more down the road.


It's looking like another updating will be coming on Thursday.

I remember watching this car come together, such classic lines.
