76 Caprice Estate from Florida to California or bust!

Thanks rrbnut, hopefully there is no need to at this stage but certainly if you just happen to be heading north in that direction for whatever reason over the next month or so, be sure to let me know. Also I will certainly let you know next time I am in SoCal. It would be cool to line up a couple of old 76 CE's together for a photo shoot before mine heads home! Cheers Mike.

 

Wow, Mike!

You will have as close as possible to a true "showroom new" loaded 1976 Chevrolet Caprice Estate as possible when you are done!!!! Congrats! You'll have a real keeper!

 

premier,will do, and yes, pls let me know when you come over

 

It's been a few months since the last update. How's the car going?

 

Yes nothing new to add at the moment and yes it is taking far longer than I would have initially hoped. I am still hoping to have the reassemble done before Christmas but because it has been treated as a time filler project for the body shop, then it is reliant on how busy they are at the time as well.

Thanks for the interest and will update as soon as I receive any new news.

Cheers Mike.

 

Thanks! Great story - we remain interested! Best of luck with the '76 Caprice Estate, Premier!

 

Thanks mate

 

Thanks. Also, I set the Frontage Rd. photo which I quoted in a previous reply as my desktop background. Thanks again!

 

Hey thanks 101 volts much appreciated. You have inspired me to use it in my avatar!

Cheers Mike

 

You're welcome.

 

News, Mike? The February anniversary of your cross country U.S. drive from Florida to CA approaches! How goes the restoration completion? We'll hope this beauty gets back to you soon!

 

John, no news still, it is going frustratingly slow that is for sure. Really not sure what the hold up is and it is hard because I can't just pop down the road to have a chat but it is only waiting for the front to be assembled last time I looked into it. I have been wanting to send a payment as well but nobody seems to be in a hurry to want to collect!

 

Premier you can send all payments here in care of Model T. I'll be glad to take care of that part for you.
Good luck on getting your wagon back together.

 

Hi. It's mark and I am THRILLED to see these pictures. Keep me posted.

 

Give us an update when you can. Think you got a keeper! And what an adventure!
