    is rotisserie really worth it?
    « on: October 23, 2008 - 06:10:33 PM »
    im just about ready to start on the T/A after the accident and my body guy really wants me to do it.  I'll be doing alot of the labor but not everything we talked and i can keep the cost down somewhat my fear is i will go to overboard on the T/A.  I have had the car for almost 13 years and i love driving it.  But im worried if i go too wild id be a lil more scared of taking it out as much as i have in the past.  So im looking for feedback on what i should do.  Because i figure this will prob be my only chance to do a full rotisserie on this car and since were gonna have to replace parts anyway..................

    Gonna be a long time shut down doing it that way. You got a pocket full of money?  I would do the insurance repairs back to good as new and enjoy it some more. They gave you the money to remove and replace all damaged right?  You will have it back sooner just doing the repairs and the car looked very nice to start with.

    If yer gonna show and trailer queen=yes  drive and enjoy=no

    I have the center section for you, but I can't help with the outer.   :pullinghair: If you see a NOS grill, be prepared for $1500 on up.  :eek4:

     :iagree: w/Moparal

    Show only - rotiserrie - I think you would enjoy driving the car less if you start worrying about every little stone you hear hitting the undercarriage while driving

    Driver - save your money

    I agree with everyone else. show only - rotis    drive it like you stole it - just fix it    My car has flawless paint, makes me nervous as heck to drive it. My 7 year old put my mega cab door into it and put a dime size ding down to bare metal. That sucked, I am too pissed off to even fix it.
