I am not replying but I also have a question about this topic. I have been a member of this forum for quite a few years and I was at the 2011 reunion. However after the reunion, I had the car in to go over issues with the car and the mechanic took total advantage and long story short put 2,000 miles on the car and the heater core broke which he jury rigged up. The passenger side floor was covered in water only but he claimed the T Tops were leaking. I took the car home, had a garage built for it, covered it with 2 car covers and the interior with bankets and towels and the car has sat ever since.
I now would like to find a reputable place to restore this car to running. It has been protected from the elements but has sat. I also have several thousand invested in NOS parts for this car.
I need a reputable place that will not rip me off, steal my parts and be honest with me.
My name is Lynn Van GIlder and I live in Edgewood, Maryland (Harford County)
I also would like to know if it is recommended to put NOS parts in the car to repair it or get 2023 parts that look like original to fix it. I do know that I have a new water pump, and I cannot remember all the other parts I bought for it. I have a partial list and it includes gaskets, T Top rubber liner, brakes, steering parts, like I said I have a partial list.
Really need help with this project. The car itself is in beautiful condition as far as outside and interior (I think, have to check to be sure).
Greatly appreciate any help and advice. Thank you so very much
Lynn
