Another one of my rims got scratched, now i have 2 messed up.

 

Sorry to hear that. There are places that can fix rims. Can you take it to one of them?

I had a couple of dents taken out of my hood with the paintless dent repair. It looks really good now. It's impressive what they can do!

 

I would if I wasnt broke, haha. wow, nice. about how much does something like that cost?

 

Hmm, I'm not really sure. I haven't priced it out. Hopefully less then buying a new wheel?

 

If its more then a wheel that would be stupid, haha

 

Ordered an Alarm, my brother is helping me get my doors working properly next week, getting brake lines put in(just have to do the rear to front line). Feels good to be working on it again.

 

Good, I didn't want an alarm in mine, but I did go with a LoJack unit. They have a special one for classic cars that has it's own battery and doesn't use the car's electrical system.

 

How much is that? if u dont mind

 

$295 with the forum discount. That's $400 off regular price! Battery lasts ten years......

Here's the thread......See post #10

We officially announced the new recovery system this morning and your members are eligible to take advantage of a special, one-time offer of $295, which is $400 off the MSRP. If you or your members are interested, they can call (800)-838-1177 x 3873 or visit https://store.lojack.com/product.aspx?zpid=374 and enter the promo code CC2EML295 at checkout

 

I might have to return my alarm and save up a little more for this, haha

 

well, since im not going return the alarm, LoJack is something good to get in the future. Thanks for the link

 

You're welcome.

 

Well, i got screwed over once again on my car. I need new front tires and i cant return the old ones because they got discontinued. So if i cant get the same one but smaller i guess im spending more $ on tires

 

There are used tire stores that might give you some money for them. You might even be able to find the new ones you want there as well?

 

The tires i really want are hydroedges but dont feel like spending 800$ on tires. if I can get a good price on a paintjob and body work im going to do that or do rear suspension and interior or body kit and hood or body kit and scoop

 

That's good. You can save a lot of money on a paint job if you do the prep yourself. But, it takes hours of sanding....

 

well i have the time, haha. that wouldnt be a bad idea. thanks! i wouldnt mind sanding but i wouldnt want to do other body work. haha

 

Yes, I understand. Maybe it would just be easier to relace the body panels? All new metal and pretty soon you would have a new car!

Somebody on this forum suggested taking a body class at a local Community College. That way you could use their equipment to fix your car. It could also get you a skill set you didn't have before.

But keep going, all of this costs money, but at the end you'll have something special!

 

My brother has the stuff to fix it but he wouldnt have time to help me. new panels isnt a bad idea. A price is all that im waiting on then i can move forward from there.

 

Sometimes the after market panels have to be trimmed to fit.
