  1. Definitely a fitting tribute to George. Gone but not forgotten... Rick
  2. An "eye popping" blue sounds cool, however I think the car looks great the original blue. Just my 2-cents.... Billie, you have a car with a lot of great potential. Can't wait to see the end result!! Good luck! Sounds like you have made some life-long friends! Cheers
  3. There's nothing wrong with this idea - I did suggest the same if you couldn't put a cheap paint job on it right now. I drove mine around for over 4 months before putting it in the body shop (just went in 3/20/04). Your story did scare me a little bit as I started having daydreams [or should that be day-mares ] while reading your horrific story. Regardless of how your baby looks, she'll still turn a few heads I'm sure!! Good luck and let us know how things go with picking up your car!! Cheers!
  4. Billie you have every right to be ticked off and to tell you the truth, I probably would have done the same thing if I didn't get any response from the jerk. Busmechanic is right, take the sheriff or one of his deputies with you to avoid any trouble. If the body is in good enough shape, slap a cheap paint job on it so you can at least enjoy it over the summer or just drive her like she is once you get the motor fixed. Good luck!
  5. I'm not familiar with the article to which you're referring however I'll gladly share what I've seen in these cars (and its sister car the Chevelle). You want to look at the bottom of the front fenders behind the front wheels. This is a very common area for rust. The rear quarter panels around the rear wheels is another common area. The trunk floor, around the windshield and back glass under the moulding, and the bottom of the doors are more areas to look for rust. If the car has a vinyl top, rust can form there as well causing "bubbles" in the vinyl. You'll also want to know about the floor board panels. Surface rust can be expected here and in the trunk floor but you want to make sure it hasn't started to go all the way through. It really depends on where the car has spent most of its life. If it's been in the western or southern regions of the US, then the car should still be fairly solid with little to minor rust. If the car has been in the northern region, driven in snow and salt, then it's possible to find major rust. If the car has spent most of it's life parked in a garage regardless of the climate, it's possible the car would not have any or very minor rust problems. Hopefully this will help and other board members can certainly provide additional information based on their experiences. Good luck with your purchase and we hope to hear more from you about the car!
