good lawd! I wish i was at this stage of my project, awesome man! been a long stressful day for me, had to get away from the house, spent a little time walking around in the junkyards, picked up three small pieces for the project...

obd2 plug (saved myself $15)
Computer Bracket off a 97ish S-10 (so I can bolt it to the inside of the ac delete plate, weld studs on inside, so dont see the bolt from engine bay)
cutlass radiator top plate

Man u are moving at a good speed it won't be long before u got your drive train complete. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress next time I'm down. U going to Vegas?

U and chris always finding good ish at the boneyard. I need to start making time to drive down to phoenix once a week to do a little hunting for some goodies

Man that thing is going to be beautiful when you get it all back together. I definitely gotta do a Elco on my next build

Thanks bro! Slowly but surely it will come together. I really want a aerocoupe monte next but I think I'm going to try to get my friends Malibu and build a tribute car out of it. He died in a car accident back in 04. If I can find some property at a good price I can do both we gonna have to cruise next time I'm out your way. I love to drive especially something classic.

Yeah I got mods and some cool stuff and I wish sven the builder was still around cause he would love to hear all these comments on his work, but fresh build cars are always a winner my car has been seen and in a way is old I too wish I had the money to repaint it cause it would be in a shocking color. But I thank you for the compliment and I know this your car will be hot.....and trust me got nothing but love for the entire 80zbabies crew. Can't wait to see u in Vegas we gonna have a good time. Can't wait to see ya bro

Thats too clean! I wanted to know if this sounded about right. I was calling around yesterday to get an idea on how much i'm going to be spending to get my trim rechromed. I've got two shops that are local and the one i was able to reach told me $15-20 a foot is what i'll be looking at spending.

Thanks! Yes $20 a foot is the going rate out here as well. I know a guy that does it from his home and charges about half that
