My hood is going to get repainted. There are two guys painting my car. One did a poor job painting the hood (and generally likes to cut corners) and the other is much better (in the paint and body business for 25 years). The second dude keeps having to correct the first guys mistakes (sounds expensive), he thought the paint job on the hood was "absolute shit" and is going to repaint the whole panel.

It's still gonna be blue, right?

Hell no! It'll look like this when finished. Edit: I think I was kinja'd. Black and gold just like Smokey and the Bandit.

Did you call that guy about the wheels and steering wheel? I stopped by tonight, picked up the black (well, kinda green in spots, an easy fix, damn fading) seats and am going back when he gets the dash and A/C & heater boxes pulled. Hooray another 45 minute drive from work, then an hour and a bit to get home. Yay.

The wheels are in great shape, just need cleaning. No curb rash that I could see or feel in the dim garage. The steering wheel is a bit mankey though. Rough around the entire circumference.

Other than the seats and motor/trans the car is still all there. He's got a '76 Formula (DAT ONE YEAR HOOD) that he is swapping some of the parts into like the rear end, and selling off his extras. He dabbles quite a bit in 2nd gen 'Birds.

Any clue what he wants for them? I would probably interested if they were around $200 - $250. Any higher and I couldn't really justify the drive.

I think he wanted $400 with the newish tires on them. I'll ask him tomorrow if he'll separate.

He still wants $400, won't separate the tires. You could probably sell them off for a hundred bucks or so.... they're Fuzion tires, and brand new, so not worth a LOT, but they're new. :/
