One of the few times that you can actually say a “frame off restoration” with a unibody

I don't believe I have ever seen one that far gone be brought back.

I learned when we had my car done...there's nothing that can't be fixed.  Question is, is it worth it?  I love to see them brought back to life.

 Talk about raising the dead.

I used to live in Cary IL.
I had heard of the shop but never visited it.
