Honest answer, I don't know how soon it'll be TRULY done. By ext summer I hope.

Wow, $60,000? You're trying to make me ACTUALLY add it up - something I've been trying NOT to do so far, ha ha.

$4800 purchase in 2011
$2000 immediately to get it squared away as it was. Tune, belts, hoses, filters, fluids, starter, Pertronix, radiator..,
Another $1-2,000 in bumpers, grill, assorted niceties like new mirrors, Altman latches, etc.
$1200 (I think) for Fatman Fabrications IFS
And now the big bucks (for my budget) Probably $15,000 for body & paint.

Still well below $60K even if I'm way off.
