Tearin' down a cat - woohoo!

Finally, I will not have to worry about having this thing parked anywhere, or the city telling me I have to move it. I will be sellin' a few items off of it. I'll let you all know when I am done and have a for sale list. Never done this to a car before, but this is how far we have gotten this afternoon. The green is what the owner was going to paint the car......I was told anyway.

I will put up a new post when I get ready to sell things off of her.

No, thats the "Ghettotastic Green".  I see that color all over the place on caprices, olds auroras (the big fugly ones)  and Monte carlos.  It seems like between that color and the 22"rims everyone puts on them, they are looking to get attention.....mabey i should name it "Attention W Green".....:)

LOL. You got me laughing on that one dude. I actualy almost like the color, sorry, but I like bright colors for some reason. Not sure why, just do.

No. They are custom 4 bolt 15" wheels that were on my yellow cat before I went to 15".

I see it's a 5.0 car....are ya gonna go as far as the fuel lines?
Those are the last thing I need for mine to run ;)

And..I too like that shade of green...I always thought a Tbird would look good in that shade...with banana yeller (that's right.."YELLER") stripes a'la Cobra style...down the middle...yeah, I'm insane! :evilgrin:

Wasn't planning on it. I'll have to see how easy they are to get out. I'm not much of a mechanic.

Green with yellow stripes would look pretty cool. Depends on the stripe.

I wouldnt mide that color too much either. But it has to be done right.  I think it would look bad ass with the color scheme that 5.8fastcat has.  Green on top, black on the bottom.  There is an old Mopar with slicks that comes to our carshows, and its that color with flat black ralley stripes. BAD ASS.  I'll get a pic sometime.  Anyways, I like the color, it just has to be done right.

Sorry about the sarcasm. I'm assuming..hehe...that your asking why I am not tearing it down in more detail:
1. As a mechanic.......I SUCK!!
2. Time, since I cannot leave it where it is for long, because of city laws.
3. I'm old, and wear out faster than I use to. (Seriously, I'm wore out)
4. I hate working on cars. (Maybe it's just that I hate working-J/K)
5. I really suck as a mechanic.

It's mostly because of my limited time. I really would like to take the car apart in more detail, but I am concerned about getting in trouble AGAIN, for having a junk car next to my house. Eventually, I will have a pole barn (or very large garage) in back (2 years I hope), and won't have to rush at this, and maybe actually learn how to do allot of this stuff on my own.

I love how you pay property taxes and the local munility can tell you what you can and can't put on your property.

Get one of those enclosed car ports with the canvas you can zip closed.  That way they can't see  the car.
