    Moparclown, I'm a hack job victim myself. So it's OK, I do understand what you are feeling right now. Let's start a mob that hunts down these hack job body men.  :villagers:

    That is why If I can not do it, then I'll try to find some one that can do it right the first time then I or someone esle does not have to go back and redo my work, if you want to do it yourself then read up on it  and then go get a Ford or a Chev or  a Ricer and try it out on it first and see how you did  then you can try it out on your after if you like what you did

    Been there, done that MC

    I bought a '73 'CUDA years agon for $2,900 but it turned out to be 3 different cars welded together with tons of bondo and bad stick welding. 

    I don't think I would fall for that now a days but maybe I would. I am more carefull these days.
