well looking at the car tonight, the driver's side rocker is pretty dang solid to the knock of my knuckles. the passenger's side def has to be replaced. the holes in the floor....weld in some small patches from some metal at Lowes and i'm good there.
got the radiator and heater core ready to go to the cleaner/rebuilders tomorrow. i'm a bit worried about that bleed over tube, i wonder if they can replace that.
the gas tank...well the only gas tank RENU place is in Houston and they rough estimated me 450 bucks. wow! they are going to be at the Good Guys show in October at TMS and he said i could bring it up there to show them. maybe the price will be less then. they said they could take it back with them and save me the shipping down to Houston.
tomorrow i will be taking the parts in, doing the brakes on my truck, shoping for a cut off tool for the passenger's rocker, and playing Mr. Mom while my wife studies. awesome.
I also decided they wanted too much for that 23 coupe, so i passed. the Packard bug sure does have a way of trying to get you into debt though huh. dammit you, responsibility!
