Since the 79 is basically done...("done" being a relative term in the C3 world) I took the next step.  I bought a "chromie" project. 

It's a blue 1972 Coupe 4 speed car.

  Unfortunately, I won't be able to take any pics of it before I leave for the desert, but it'll be in the garage ready for me to tear apart when I get back in September.  It's pretty much a rolling wreck right now but I'll change that over the next couple years.

 Jeez Jim. Didn't know you were looking for a chromie. I very close friend of mine Ermm has one that just needs some TLC. Nothing about 20 grand wouldn't take care of. LOL Good luck on your project...we need more chromies!Thumbs%20Up 

   I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

Let's see...

2 C3's...

that's six times the fun!

(and probably twelve times the money, but who's counting when it comes to these classic beauties?!)

Congratulations on being a two-timer. We'll all look forward to the photos and the rehab...
