The paint and body work have always been the bottleneck to my projects as well. I've sold a few that I should have kept because I couldn't get past the body work. I could always do the mechanical side and I've attempted the body work, but was never successful enough. I've finally bit the bullet and had my Fury painted. I've also stripped my Savoy down now, plan to get it blasted, and then it's off to the body shop. I think the Savoy will go together quite easily with a freshly painted body and it should be easy to install the drivetrain. I've also sent my 70 Challenger out for paint, it's been gone for twelve weeks, and should be ready by the end of the week. Andy, you have to do what you're able to with the 64 Dodge but I'd make an attempt to tow it back. It'd be great to get it back on the road. My Fury had been setting for two years before I bought it and the Savoy, who knows, maybe twenty years. Can't wait to bang some gears in the Savoy.
