Paint and body on my 74 was done 2 years ago and I'm just now getting around to the engine on it.
Very good thought. It's not like the car will drive any different with a new paint job. If its not for me then I can look at something else. If I love it and use it like I thought I would then over another winter it can go under the knife. Plus you never know what I will stumble upon in the classifieds. Like many of you I'm sure I lurk there daily.

Only to people that like skinny, wimpy looking 911 bodies (don't know what Cornerlot is talking about when he said they look "mean" - mean like a scared bunny rabbit ?!?! :)).

I got a good chuckle out of that, seeing as I was the butt of the joke/wordplay that triggered the lecture. :D
