Not Camaro related but car related.
Last Nov. I mentioned I bought a 1966 T-Bird conv. and imported it to Canada. Let us not even discuss the expense but it was the right time, right auto.
The Bird was finally delivered, with much drama, late Nov. Drove it about 100 yards before I had it picked up by a restoration garage to 'tweak' it before spring auto shows. Told the restoration garage do what has to be done to make a 48 year old car a safe driver, plus my long list of other stuff, no budget was set.
'Tweaks' pushing $4,000 but my experience with the restoration garage excellent. The Bird was restored back in 2003, but still had issues. Told them not to hurry as I can not drive it until the spring (late April in Canada). Garage owner called me today with latest update and I am thrilled.
Think now I am going to spend extra $ to bring the auto body to concours rating (adjust panel fit, quality touch up paint nicks, etc.,. Chrome already replated and interior looks factory new after a few tweaks). Stupid perhaps for an auto I do not intend to "show" for points or awards. Just love my autos and want a 1966 T-Bird that drives and looks like the family new 1966 T-Bird I drove when it was new, back in the day.
