Jack,

I just placed my BIG order to MOSS for the majority of the parts that I need for reasembly. I have to tell you it really HURT!!

Bad thing is (or good thing depending on how you see it) is that tomorrow I pick up the car from the body shop. That will be nearly $5k spent in TWO, count them, TWO days!

Time to go work some overtime! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Oh theres a list with about 70 or so items on it LOL. I could build a whole car.

The expensive pieces are the interior and top. The other part are just various bits. Thanks again to Tony for helping me get all of my pricing. I know he doesn't solicit on the forums but that doesn't mean that I cant put in a good work for him as a satisfied customer!!!!!

Heh, I need about 3K more worth of parts as well. Think wife will kind of force me to do it in easy stages.

Think if I had em all it would only take a few weeks. Oh well keeps me out of the bars.

In my case, Jack, I have to stay in the bars to be able to afford those parts! Got to keep those gigs coming... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

i just got the call from the shop that my tub is ready for pick up after it's second operation (i have to come up with a name like jack did for my tub). anyway, some rear panel and trunk repair, some front end cosmetic surgery, and bumper bracket work and we're at $720. not bad considering the last visit. i don't feel like i'm crazy for spending all this money but maybe that's the problem. anyway, i am looking forward to seeing the results. it's raining here and the tub is stripped to metal so i have to wait. next step is some more media and spot blasting and then epoxy primer.
.
the next steps are going to take time since there is no more money. i figure in about 2 weeks i will be ready for another moss/vb order. i promise pictures as soon as possible.
