Thanks for the encouragement . Took it to Blairstown NJ for Friday the 13th events . Now its going to be mostly in and out of shops until I do my October vacations . Currently having new head gasket , motor mounts and angle job done . After that shocks / struts , and having vinyl top installed .
Thoughts go back to Dan Aykroyd bringing in junked out Cadillac and saying what a bargain he got in Ghostbusters .
Mechanics keep advising me to sell the car . They can get an oldsmobile or similar in better shape or lesser miles and even a 2 door lol . When explaining evil dead they do not even know . Get the look of they are not above separating a fool and their money .
Honestly eager to jump to smaller things I have tools and knowledge to do myself ( best way to bond with a machine ) .
Timeline for now is to have it look as close to Ash's car as possible by October . 2019 plans are get her prepped and ready for a 3000 mile road trip .
For the record guys on desperate search for rear bumper .
Photos will be coming
