You could always cut the windows at the pillar and just install from the rear pillar to the back with your finger through the open door section!!!  I thought about that, I like how it looks now more than before. Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate it! |

I had a chance to buy a 1969 RoadRunner back in 1979 for $1800. I turned it down. One of the biggest mistakes of my automotive history! It had a 440 with a4 speed!

The opportunity usually comes at us when we are broke!!! I had a chance on an old Triumph TR3 that I really wanted to restore but Laura was due with my son and I knew the hospital bill was looming... also missed out on a 65' convertible Mustang with a 351...  |

I forgot how long ago it was, but a '67 Barracuda was for sale! It looked ok on the computer, faded red color. Went with my daughter to get it. The car was red, alright, rust red. The owner said "It's only surface rust". Yes, on the outside and inside surfaces both!! The floor was rusted out. And that was body. The interior was in pieces, the engine also needed work. I said no, we went home. And he wanted $3,000 for it!!

OUCH!!! I went to look at a '69 Camaro that was "only" $2500. It was scattered all over the barn, and the body panels looked like somebody had used a ball peen hammer all over it. Hail damage. I left it sitting there!!!

Our luck with old full scale cars doesn't seem to be good. I will stay with model cars!!! Even the old broken ones can be saved, most of the time! Also, I can afford them!!!
