    Ahhh.

    Well, at least I'm not hung up on making it all original parts.  As long as it looks good and drives well...I should be happy.  Oh, an as long as its supercharged.  Heh

    Frame was a straight up train wreck.

    I walked.  Absolutely rotted, fist sized holes in places.

    Frequently, when they slap a new coat of paint on a body that bad, they're hoping you'll be drawn in and not notice the other more serious problems. Ii think with a little patience you'll be able to get something worthwhile that you'll really like, and I'm sure the people here will help.

    Too bad but better off walking than biting off more than you can chew.  :grinyes:  At least your curiosity has been answered.  Now the hunt continues!  :sly:

    Haha, yeah, fist-sized holes in the frame members.  Hardly joking.  The more I examined the top, the more bubbles I found in the vinyl.

    He first said he'd refund my deposit, then flip flopped.  Whatever, he needs the money more than me, lol.
