   Welcome from Idaho.   The history of my car is pretty much the same.  Bought it when I was young---got put in the garage for over 22 years or so--then brought back to life.  So it's never to late to start.  You will just enjoy the ride twice as much when you get it done.        :)

I see two guys on here from Chilliwack.  I might be headed down that way with a friend so he can pick up his car.  Someone in the Vancouver or Lower Mainland area painted his 69 Camaro.  I might be headed down that way with my car in the next year or so, if my buddy has a good experience. Unless you know a guy.....

I knew a guy in Kelowna that did good work but I hear he shut down his shop and went back to collision work. If you need resto parts I just started work at Hot Rods and Classics in Chilliwack and we can get anything you need and eliminate the border headache for you as well. I just sold a guy in John some parts for his 67 Camaro convt. on Friday actually.

Yea :iagree: for a 73, blue interior would be really rare..and to have it with a black exterior  :drooling:

We have a broadcast sheet decoder on this site.  Check it out.  Dude your house is paid for and you have a killer shop.  Go hammer out that Cuda before the 2 yougins need all of your money for college. 

Sounds like you have been paitent.  Good work and I wish you the best.

Wow ! 

That is a really cool ride!   Seriously, black with blue guts,  I'm all about the restomods and custom cars, but my humble opinion is that this one should stay with that awfully rare blue interior.

Just out of curiosity, can you even get blue replacement panels, dashes, seat covers, etc?

My son turns 16 in two weeks and my daughter just turned 13.  So college or university is coming real soon.  I've been doing the RESP thing up here in Canada.  So I've already kinda got them covered for school.   

I'm still on target to get the car done by the time I'm 50.  I started saving a 1000 bucks a month for my car in January of this year.  Mrs Swamp Donkey is on board. 7x12=84,000. Plus I've been kicking in a little extra into the car account when I get some extra cash.  I told her I was going to spend as much on the Cuda as a new Challenger Hellcat.   Same amount of Money, way cooler car in my opinion.  We will see what that amount of money can get me with our Loonie.
