It can all be fixed, that's the good news! Just saying.
How much did those repairs set you back? If you don't mind me asking?

Mods, you can go ahead and lock/delete this thread....

After some long talks with the wife, and some more research, we're going to keep the car and commence with somewhat of a restoration/modification/updating starting with pulling the body off the frame over the holidays. This will likely be a 2-3 year process but we're going to start by dropping the body off with DUB down in Charlotte for the required bird cage repairs.

Ill start a build thread here shortly....here goes nothin.....

Glad to see you are going to keep it and restore this beauty. I think people missed out on this one even with the issues. I'm glad you didn't give it away and are going to restore it to it's former glory. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks, will do! Started pulling the interior and disconnecting a lot of the mechanical stuff today in preparation for separating the body.

For the record, if you need something closed, hit the Report Post button or send one of us a PM. Otherwise we wont see your request unless we happen to browse the thread like I just did.
