Thanks for the welcome! I'm thrilled about this forum. I've been lurking for a few days. It looks packed with great information. and super cool photos!
Thanks! Yeah, Montana pretty much rules. I've never been to Havre. But, I know some folks out there who really dig it. I would definitely take an auto body repair class if I could find one! The closest thing they have in town is a Welding 101 class at the UM College of Technology. And, a youth nonprofit program for "at risk" high school students ...which actually looks really sweet. Maybe if I talk to the director and make a donation or volunteer somehow they'll let me tag along for classes. Looks like they just restored a '74 260.
Dude, you should have come out for the wedding! Missoula is a fun place to visit for sure. Congrats to your friend. And, yeah, I'll take your advice with lots of suburbs and hills practice... as soon as I master the abandoned parking lot, of course.
Thanks!
That's good to hear. I really didn't know... it was listed at 500.00 I offered 300.00 And, then we settled for the 375.00 He told me he thought he could probably get more; but, he wanted it to go to someone who would appreciate it. And, it was kinda obvious I was already in love with it.
I'm taking it in for a full diagnostics soon. Will make sure steering and brake components are on the top of the list if they need any work.
ha, well, I already avoid parellel parking as much as possible anyway. So, I guess I'll be okay with it. We shall see soon..
And, a "rocker...." so that's what that part's called... awesome. But, yeah, it's like that on both sides. :( Probably even worse on the other one. The rust is gonna be the really big issue. The floor is worse than I thought. So is the inside of the trunk. I just took a bunch more pics, today. Will post 'em up soon.
