No build thread yet. But have made purchases of gas tank & sending unit, front brake overhaul kit. As a well as a PST front suspension kit. It was OG black w/a Highland interior. Amazing that your travels lead you here.

If you look at my road trip reports you will see that miles and geography does not stop me.
Been inside at Gas Monkey Garage for three hours visiting, managed to help for a day on a SEMA Truck (Boosted Bertha) and various other places I could only dream of.
This year I got invited to Kelderman Engineering in Oskaloosa, and also spent some time with my friend Ray and his wife Eve in Monroe, Iowa.
Looks like you have loads of good stuff stashed away though.
Over here everything is a battle and very costly to get.
Price you see, then add international shipping, taxes, and import duties on it all.
We pretty much work on double the price.
And to import a car over 40 years will cost an additional $3000.00 to get it on your driveway. Newer stuff is even more.
