Thanks for the view ...
I can relate --- "now". I took the Canary in for painting ... the fellow said "there's a few dints and dings do you want me to take them out "before" I paint ...
sure says I, may as well. Estimate - $4200 for a paint job ... gimme a break ... then he pointed out that one cab corner would need replacement - uh well yes - ok.... the roof has a hellof a dint in it ... hmmm never noticed that ...
OK what the hell I want a nice truck when I'm done... 8 months later (count 'em eight months!) with me going in every two weeks or so ... the final bill ... $9600 ... and I still had to reassemble ... (I wasn't as clued in then as I am now) ... for 9600 I could have bought a finished truck for the love of Pete ...
gaurantee ... oh sure ... find me ...
buyer beware says I ... buyer beware
unfortunately for me but fortunately for others he went belly up a few months later ...
Now, the Toad is all me and mine ... what I didn't know how to do I either went to school or learned over the Stovebolt Page ... Anyone remember OLY teaching me how to rebuilt my small block? I've done another one since and it's still running a year later every day. The Stove Page has been and is a warehouse of information, for me at least ...
