Just an update on the cash flow situation for the project. Last amount was $495 and then I spent $81 for new tabs and plates, and $100 for rocker boxes, and $33 for a 3 core radiator w/tranny cooler and I had to buy sawzall blades for cutting parts, $20, bringing the total to $729.
But I just sold a small pile of parts. The seats ($360), cluster ($30), other misc parts, ie. fuel sending unit, hatch glass, shift indicator, window regulator, door handles, stabilizer brackets ($110) and some sheetmetal pieces yet to deliver which I should clear ($85). Yesterday was a good day. This brings the total spent down to $144.00
WOW.
Even I didn't expect the number to be that low. I still have a few items left to sell. Some cost may be recouped in getting the 400 running, if possible. I already added the $145 I spent on the 350 short block prep in this. So basically, if I can get the 400 to run, I have a running, legal, 1972 Jimmy for free
. If it won't run, it will have cost me a few hundred bucks
and I'll have some spare parts (front axle, 400 short block). I plan to find out in the next week or so.
