Trust me, I ain't judging...I'm just saying.
If the paint job is not a high priority for you at this time, then you (we all) make the choices and the compromises we can live with. If you're going for a DD, and are just looking for a cheaper paint job, then that's certainly your choice, and as I said in my first post, a decent paint job (especially if you're not changing colors, as you mentioned you weren't) can be had from a cheaper place, and painting the car together. I was just making sure you knew. At the end of the day it's only one man's car, and you won't offend me no matter what you do.
your car, your goals....Just make sure you understand the implications of the choices you make...that's all!
BTW if you're going DD, you're gonna want to work on Fuel Injection long before you look at rear discs. Yeah you can DD a carb car, but EFI completely changed the reliability and consistency a car was capable of. And I say this as a guy with a carb. If I was planning to DD my car, EFI would be on the "must do" list. Right now it's on the "Hope to do" list
