The real cost of a 512TR DIY Major Service

I did not keep records of the time, so it's impossible to say. When I was in the middle of it, it seemed like forever, but now looking back it seems like a minute.
I'm sure that applies to life somehow...

You are a wise man.
I have one last frame-off restoration to complete, a 1970 Orbit Orange Pontiac GTO Judge convertible (Ram Air IV, 4-speed). It is 65% done. Of course it's been 60% done for the last 10 years until the last 2 months. It's the last car project in the queue currently. That is, except for the 17 ton, 10-wheel drive 1964 M35-A2 military truck (the anti-Ferrari). And the two old scooters. And then again, I want to re-do the engine in my restified 1970 GTO Judge convertible.
I'd better get to work...

yea guys change the belts way to early
if you drive the car they will go easily 45K
keep an eye out on your suspension bushing and steering rack
I did mine at 85K or so
