13. New window crank handles

15. New emblems
I think there is more to this list also but can't recall everything
Here is what I'm having done right now
1. New 302 roller motor beeing built to replace the old wore out 289 but using the old 289 heads on the new motor and having a new carb put on it
2. Having the C4 completely rebuilt
Here is what I just ordered or bought for the car already (sure there will be more to come, LOL)
1. JBA full exhaust sytem (headers, H-pipe, rear section all the way out)(had to cut out the old pieced together system that was U-bolted together so tight that it locked everything together)
2. Kick down cable (old one was broken)
3. Neutral safety switch (old ones wiring was chewed up)
4. Engine to firewall ground wire (old one was frayed and rusted)
5. New water pump for new motor (not going to put a old water pump on a new motor)
6. Valve cover gaskets
7. New tranny dipstick tube and dipstick (old dipstick was broke right at the top of the tube)
8. New heavy duty motor mounts (old ones were dry rotted)
9. New oil pressure sending unit (not sure if the old one worked so replacing it anyways)
10. New stainless steel trans cooler lines (old ones are not leaking but beat up so throwing in some new ones)
11. New radiator hose kit ( self explanitory)
Future plans for some of our Income Tax Return money
1. Complete A/C Kit from Vintage Air (It gets super hot here in Phoenix and this is going to be the wifes daily driver so she needs A/C for her and our 9 month old daughter when she is driving her around too!)(we were going ot get the A/C kit now but after having to get the exhaust system we are short for the A/C kit, so we are getting it after Income Tax Return now)
So reading everything, how much do you think we paid for the car? Or how much should we have paid for it?
