    Looks like it is coming apart pretty fast but they never go back together very fast.

    Lighting makes all the difference, you'll be able to assess all the damage; effect the repairs necessary  :thumbsup:

    My project: coming apart = 3 weeks, back together = 3 years and counting.     ::)    Of course with more funding I could have greatly accelerated the process!  :grinyes:

    yeah the car will get fully stripped down to bare metal and i havent decided if im gonna rebuild the engine or not since its still REALLY strong.  The person that owned the car before did some crap patch work so im guessing all new quarters for sure and prob a bunch more stuff this whole ordeal is a blessing now i can redo the car the way it should be..  After next weekend stripping down car some im at a stand still until i can get the car on the frame machine.
