thanks for the support guys. when i bought this car in '88 i was working at sears, and all the mech.s told me to get rid of it before it ate me. i'm glad i didn't listen. except for the wasted paint job and quarter skin, its worth every penny i put in it since i was 18 and ive replaced or redone just about everything on it at least once. i still have the origional roof, decklid, drivers door, and a couple other parts on the car. wish i couldve done ground up, but i started as a $8000/year trailer trash/wanna drive my hot rod punk. it'll be on the road before i get my licence back.
