Sir woodfire, I've heard that you have to be very meticulous with Alex.

Good luck sir!

Why is that? also what is Alex's last name? Is that Isip? anyway, will have to observe outcome since i need a convertible top installed and i need someone who wont screw it up or screw me.

Smooth,

-Yup, my engine is a 289. Tweaked it so it would have the specs of a K-Code.

Can you describe for our audience how you tweaked it to K-Code specs? Did you place mechanical lifters? What else?

woodfire, nakita ko na yng car mo dati nung hindi pa narerestore and nagulat kami sa price nung sinabi sa amin. balak kasi namin bumili ng fastback kaya lng hindi naging maayos yng usapan namin nung seller. oh well...

what a coicindence. small world talaga kasi na alok na rin sa min yung car. btw, cno ang may ari ng fastback na di kayo nagka ayusan ng seller? para ma alert ang iba?

[QUOTE=hotrox;731961Anyway, we all have our sad stories to tell and am grateful for this Forum where future & current muscle car enthusiasts can learn a great deal from and avoid the money pits. Thanks and keep us posted.[/QUOTE]

unfortunately experience is sometimes the best teacher. also, hard din for newbies to tell who to listen to dahil maraming "experts" diyan. and most newbies have a day job kaya di mapag ukulan ng panahon ang restoration process and will "trust" another to do it.

Now my two cents worth - always approach with caution and be a little cynical. it is easy to get dazzled due to the euphoria of getting a cool toy. do your homework as Woodfire said and be conservative. Also when you do find that group or team that can help you make sure you take care of them.

It can be an enjoyable hobby but it can also be dangerous. Always approach with caution, armed with info and be organized... and you will be well rewarded.

Actually one of the things that got me going was your post sometime in 2005 when restoration work on your stang was I think in its early stages. Nainggit talaga ako.

I started the same way. It was woodfire posting pictures of muscle cars and telling the story of his restoration that got me interested too

This is true. Plus, always research. Nobody knows everything. The beauty of the internet is that it is easy to verify what is said or to spot a falsehood. Due diligence lang

Yup use the internet and forums to its fullest extent. it is very beneficial. it is lucky for newbies that the internet is around. back in the 80s kapaan pa and may so called "experts" ruled. Now they find it hard to BS when you have a print out or a laptop or a celfone.

+1

How much is it estimated at and what that cost will entail? so we have an idea.
