I figured I'd ponder for a minute on the cost factor so far in Betty.
When we last left you, the car, cost of the Ohio body panels, body filler, sheet metals, and basic shop supplies was at about 3,600.00.
Purchasing the 1975 Riviera was 1500.00. I look to recoup some of that cost, as I'll sell anything off of the body of the car (doors, front fenders, hood, rear quarters, glass) that I can, and scrap the rest of the body. I would think I could recoup at a minimum 400.00 from this, maybe more. At any rate, that puts the total project at 4,900.00.
I don't see any major costs coming up until the 455 motor gets worked over. Well, let's hope!
