Good. I'm glad that lime green is going bye-bye. And since you wrecked the first one I bet you'll be helping fix this one, right? :D

He has been selling insurance for the last 20 years,but He will always be a bodyman in my eyes. The guy can work metal better than anyone I know.

Actually on the one from way back then.... He bought it wrecked and had just finished it a couple weeks before I did my magic. He then fixed it again.

I will of coarse be helping him with this one though.

Not sure yet....Most likely a 440, but could go either way on tranny.

Dude, your work kicks ass.  :2thumbs:

I saw that car on eBay, looks like a solid project. Can't wait to see what you have planned for it.
Does this mean you'll have it done in time for Carlisle??  ;)
