Im would like to read some restoration "build" threads. Anyone got any good ones saved in their book marks for the 73-87's?

There is quite a lot of them, but most of them don't really ever reach the "complete" stage. Just gotta look around.

I just love the ones that read like a book from start to finish. The more detailed the better. There are a lot of build threads on here like that, but not so many actual restoration threads. I know there are several good ones! Most of them i have read through a few times!

Mine's kind of like watching a kid with A.D.D. do math, but check it out, I would love the input.

I have been following along yours! Its one of my favorites. Mostly due to the detail that you go into.

Mine is linked below (intro/build thread) and reaches the "complete" stage.

But - I think you've read it (if I remember correctly).

The BlueJ and OJ thread always was a good read for me.

That was an excellent thread! All the way up until the end though! Wow! What an ordeal! Very sad.
