Hi
I've signed my husband up for this site. He's not real computer savvy so I dont' know how much he'll use it. But, I may stop by from time to time and hopefully, I'll get him comfotable to communicate.
A little background about why I'm here. We have a 1969 T-bird with less than 10,000 original miles on it. Near pristine interior, deteriorating original paint job but no rust except for a few bocks where the paint has worn down.
Its my husband's price and joy. When he first got it, he searched the web for information, places to find parts and advice and was pretty unsuccessful so he finally gave up. In poking around here, this group seems pretty active so I'm hoping this will prove to be a good fit for him/us.
I'm looking for 2 things for the car: interior floor mats (for a christmas present) and the wing nut that holds the spare tire. I dont' know where to look or who in the virtual marketplace is reputable. Can anyone help with that?
Secondly, we keep going back and for on a decision to paint the car or not. Some say because of the condition of the car it may be more "valuable" to leave the orignial paint. Othere's say a good paint job will increase its value. Any opinions?
I realize that this post may be in the totally wrong place but I'm hoping the moderators or members will be able to help guide me around a little until I get familiar with the lay of the land. AAMOF, I may not be able to get back to this post to see if there have been any replies. lol
So, if I've broken or bent any rules, I'd appreciate someone letting me know.
Thanks
