yourself their are competent local painters that can do your car for not much,
we have a near perfect tri-carb in the club a freind owns that proves this

> All new brake components including purchase of good used drums and new front
discs (I have a disc brake conversion on my car)
> Relined Clutch
> New hubs and wheels back, good used hubs and wheels for the front, cleaned
and painted all to match.
> New Tires
> Electrical Replaced Repaired Rebuilt as needed, including good used
generator
> Too much miscellaneas to mention
> Good used chrome top stays free via the list! (thanks again Charley Braum).

possible, for example bought used speedo that didn't work for cosmetic value
of the face, swapped out parts with mine, sold what was left on e-bay as
non-operational, I did not deduct e-bay sales such as this from total.
