I would like to my self but doubt that will happen. And doing all the sanding will take me a long time. My trunk isn't even done being sanded after a couple hours. Haha

i just joined this forum and will be watching your build a few suggestions though turn your mufflers in towards back and use tailpipes to come out sides, check out sonix electronix for any audio,security, lighting needs and don't forget the vacuum lines will make engine run way better

Well now I've got a decision to make. Since I started body work I've found that I need new suspension and that this car has been in a wreck. From the firewall to the front bumper on the driver side is 3/8in shorter than the passenger side. Any suggestions on what to do?
