Going to start a thread about my 67 coupe. I bought it back in May of 2007 for $5500 all original w/ matching numbers drivetrain. Since then it has gone through several stages of modification. Paint wasn't that great and I wasn't too happy about it. So I decided whenever I get a job to start refreshing it. Well that job came in September of 09 and I found out early and started working on it the last sunday in August of 09.

Plans were to just paint it and fix the passenger side door, but as we all know it never goes according to plan. I've ended up adding more mods and stuff and has caused it to take longer than expected. I've also documented every item purchased so I can keep up with the total cost. Listed below is only what I have bought since September. I have spent an estimated 2000-2500 before this.

Still have to buy paint and engine mods. Currently it is in primer and waiting for me to finish body work. Once that is done I will send it off for paint.

Now that might seem like a lot to you guys but that is pretty much every paycheck I have received and includes christmas money. Being a high school student I don't make a ton of money.
