Long story on this car, but it was gifted to me by my college roommate's mom, after he had passed away in a tragic car accident. He had received it from his grandfather (who purchased it brand new). It has a lot of meaning to their family, prior to them giving it to me. I cherish it as such, and hope to give it the right treatment.
I have never driven it. Its literally sat in my corner of warehouse. It meant a lot to him.
So figured after such a fantastic year in the business and some record breaking profits, it was time to do this car justice.
So pulled the trigger on about $31,000 parts this morning. I am sure there will be much more. Will do a full proper build, to get it going. I will document it here. I need to roll it out of the warehouse next weekend, and get some pics.

Very cool. Following!
Thank you! I will do as much as my time allows, and my neighbor (4 warehouses down - Tequila business) will help with some of the work I am u nable to do.
Target goal is to finish it by June 1st.
That is one heck of a detailed parts list. Shouldn't you white out personal details?

Due to my travels, I am nowhere close to the car when all parts get here (90 days). Thus its, getting shipped all to my friends. If someone from GRM wants to show up at the address - I will buy them a beverage of their choice

Car is as mint as a 50 year old car can be. Purchased new in Hollywood. Lived in Hollywood hills all its life, before coming to my storage.

Well I have been talking to him for 2 years on this particular project, as I wasn't sure what to do with it. . He supplied all parts for my Impala that sold on BAT, and has been instrumental in my 49 Ford build as well. I am sure I have spent enough money with him, to put his kids through private school 
Figure I have to spend all my PPP and EIDL money somehow (JK) LOL 
Looks like a fun parts list, look forward to the work.

I just made it to Northern Virginia. Settling in and looking to get some space for my cars and grab a few more. I really need to get out to the west coast, probably this summer.
You are going a very different way with your 57 budget wise but have a similar destination in mind.

All I can add is that I wore the tires off my Dodge Stratus rental car on Glendora Ridge Rd and a couple others in that vicinity when I was there to support police car trials at Pomona.
That's going to be one bad machine

You are always going further and further away . Do you hate us that much? 
Come over this summer. I will be in Africa/Middle east for a good part (drumming up more business from them) - so let me know ahead of time

The govt hates me. They keep moving me away from the good weather and cars.
