    things you learn restoring your gt/cs?

    One other thing is to stay with your plan. However you decide to build your car changing the plan along the way will cost you extra $$. The money statements are right on. I spent a lot of time putting lists and prices together, thought to myself no way am I going to double that. Guess what...

    Tricks to removing moldings undamaged

    This is good advise. It's easy to want to go faster, take your time. I have been told the repro's for the drip rail moldings suck. They just don't fit and you wil be spending a lot of time trying to make them work. Keep the originals in good order at all costs. I wrapped the bottle opener...

    Suspension Kits
