Well it took me just over 30 days since I purchased it from a forum member in South Carolina. Now she looks all pretty again, and all done except for the motor madness.

Now I know what my car would look like with the front end wrecked. Nice job getting it road ready again. Are you going to keep it or sell it? She's sharp.

I have a problem with fixing and selling. I fix them right, and people around here know my builds and normally offer me way more then what I have in it so if somone offers the right amount it will go. I like the chase and the build. No labor costs, just cost on the parts to repair as my family has a shop. I would like to build it up to around 500 hp and play with it a while before I sell it on.
