Tony, After what you just did out of the sheer love for another individual, if there is anything that I can do to help you out (i.e parts, etc.) just let me know. This site owes you a debt of gratitude. I know that the project was a CC.Com project and a lot of people made it happen. You could have not done it on your own, but without you it would have never got done so well. To see the look on Cuda Guy's face and to see his chest puffed out all weekend was priceless. How does it go - Cuda 5,000, New Seat Covers 1,000, Engine 4,000, the look on Cuda Guys Face - Priceless.
I keep wondering what drove you through that to bring it to a realization - I will guarantee you that if I ever need a car restored there is only one place that I would take it. This is the type of person that you want working on your car, its obvious that it isn't about the money.
