Sorry to hear that. There are places that can fix rims. Can you take it to one of them?

I had a couple of dents taken out of my hood with the paintless dent repair. It looks really good now. It's impressive what they can do!

Hmm, I'm not really sure. I haven't priced it out. Hopefully less then buying a new wheel?

Ordered an Alarm, my brother is helping me get my doors working properly next week, getting brake lines put in(just have to do the rear to front line). Feels good to be working on it again.

Good, I didn't want an alarm in mine, but I did go with a LoJack unit. They have a special one for classic cars that has it's own battery and doesn't use the car's electrical system.

There are used tire stores that might give you some money for them. You might even be able to find the new ones you want there as well?

The tires i really want are hydroedges but dont feel like spending 800$ on tires. if I can get a good price on a paintjob and body work im going to do that or do rear suspension and interior or body kit and hood or body kit and scoop

That's good. You can save a lot of money on a paint job if you do the prep yourself. But, it takes hours of sanding....

Yes, I understand. Maybe it would just be easier to relace the body panels? All new metal and pretty soon you would have a new car!

Somebody on this forum suggested taking a body class at a local Community College. That way you could use their equipment to fix your car. It could also get you a skill set you didn't have before.

But keep going, all of this costs money, but at the end you'll have something special!

Sometimes the after market panels have to be trimmed to fit.
