Owner built on a budget;

Another approach might be to print a colored flyer to pass out at the show. I bet folks will take them and read later. Include some before, during and after photos with your project outline. Include a contact number and you could draw some business if your looking for some. If you hand them to folks they can't resist taking them, you just don't want to see them scattered on the ground afterwards.

john; that is a good idea, only problem is that the folks that put on autorama do not want the owners staying near their cars. a person can occasionally walk by to chat, or meet with friends at the car and chat, but if they just see you hanging out all day with the car they will come ask you to leave. Last year I printed a couple hunderd one page stories of the rambler and left them laying in the display with a sign saying take one. less than a hundred were taken.

As for work, I don't want any, I have been down that road before, people expect way too much for way too little. and we all know that things can just go wrong at the drop of a hat and then the customer thinks I should fix it for free. I reverted to buying project cars, fixing them and selling them to support my hobby, then if there were flaws the person purchased the flaws with the car.

I did think about renting myself, my tools, and shop for a certain dollar per hour rate, and the owner would be on site and participating in the work and they could decide when good was good enough and take it home to do what they could there.

Hey, thanks for taking interest and participating in my build. Ray

UPDATE:

made new door handles this morning, cut them from aluminum plate and then sanded and polished them.

new mirror came in just about 2 hours ago, got it installed and bolted the windshield on.

made an adapter for a jack stand that could be bolted to two front lug nuts to support the car. we are going to remove a front tire to expose the suspension and frame. sanded it all down and put on fresh coat of paint.

still gotta touch up some paint, have to get all the pictures on a flash drive and take it to drug store for prints, and make poster board and photo album.

SUPRISE SUPRISE SUPRISE; is coming, I am getting an accessory that every Cobra owner should have, and I doubt many will have one just like this one. It will be displayed with the car at autorama, and should ad a real touch of class.

You will see pictures of the wheel stand and custom door latches and the suprise once the display is set up.
