I went to another pal's place to get an update on his car (69 Super Bee). The engine and transmission are at the engine shop being substantially rebuilt. He says he's chasing horsepower but wants it streetable and able to burn regular gas. The car has matching serial numbers so he's willing to put a little more into the car. The body is pretty good but does need some work. Apparently the paint job will be $15k. While the car is pretty good, it's amazing how much work these things are...so many fussy mini-projects. Labour of love I guess.
