Sounds like a good deal. I got mine for 3500, of course I need all of the same as you do althought my body might be in better shape than yours. Is yours an original motor or what? You're in Irving? I'm in Cedar Hill. Send me a pic of it if you have it. My email is mrbeaubo@home.com and icq is 12728367. My AIM name is BeauBo5.

If you don't want to buy it, I'm thinking my brother might.

How's the frame?

if the frame is solid and the engine seems ok, sounds like a reasonable deal to me.
