Speaking of being at the right place at the right time... When I got my engine done I took my Monte up to the local cruise spot. Very rarely do you ever see any muscle car there, it is mostly hondas and other imports with owners that cant buy the right sized clothing and with chips on their shoulders... anoth story another time. Anyway, I rolled in with straight pipes and no mufflers, not too loud but noticable , and when I parked a guy got out of his camaro and came up to me and said he had an all original 70' his dad gave him. That guy is Nathan, his pics are in my intro thread, and he recently graduated from Wyotech at the top of his class for auto body and collision. Long story short he sucks at mechanic work and I suck at paint work so he gets all off his mechanic work done by me and he is doing my entire resto for the cost of materials! Very rarely do you find a 20 year old guy with a love and passion for older cars and not to mention the respect to go along with it. Keep looking around at the local meets there are people out there that have th talent and ability and are willing to do it, not for the money or tons of it at least, but will do it for the sake of saving another muscle car from the crusher! Side note I am married and nathan is just a friend! lol
