I’ve just preemptively spent most of my first pay check on my Ghia. I bought hopefully all the metal to repair the areas around the rear fenders. Total so far: $363.20. This is, by my calculations, just under half the money I’ll be spending on body parts. I’m also looking for some scrap metal to build a rotisserie that will get my body up in the air at a comfortable level to work on, and allow me to rotate it to get to different areas of the car easily. I think I’ll wait until I actually get my second pay check before I spend any more.
