Shop Rat Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Good job!!! Now all you need is a green one for you and you can tell people they are the special His & Hers Neiman-Marcus Christmas gifts. (Bill Davis pulls that one on people at Hershey when he parks his green Rolls beside the red one a friend of his owns. It gets a lot of stares or laughs.)

K8096 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 We parted out a couple 73 Super Beatles back in the mid 80's & still have a lot of the parts. Let me know if you need anything. I'll sell the stuff VERY CHEAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronbarn Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Congrats Peter - Must be some details you left out so you will have to tell more over a brew at Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex98thdrill Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 .....Peter, now for the million dollar question.....Where are you going to store it??- last I knew you didn't have a lot of storage space.- Now if you do it smart, she'll let you build an additional storage building for it, and while you're building it, you make sure that the building is big enough for two cars so you can get another car. - When my father ordered the shop, I remember him going into the house and telling my mom that he ordered a barn. When she asked how big it was, he said, "it's a small one, it's only 50x100." My mom not understanding sizes said okay and reality never hit her until my dad and I started standing the steel up. Needless to say, by then it was too late, and after looking back, my dad was right, it is small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shop Rat Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 VERY nice. Gee, I sure hope that Santa leaves a 1965 Dodge Dart GT (red with a black vinyl Crown Victoria top) in my stocking this year, since he seems to be handing out antique cars this year.
