Dude, that's some seriously awesome work. And then some! Most people would run a mile from that sort of thing but you've done a stupendous job of making a pile of rusty metal into something most people would be more than proud of! AMAZING!

I well and truly applaud you and your Dad and really look forward to seeing more of your work. ;D

the car was butchered...some kids were driving it on the field, put a 2.3 V6 on it, instead of engine mounts used wood, had about an INCH (Yes , 2.51 cm ) off filler on some parts of the body, was broken , the chassis was bent... i got it best I could in center but just lost the will do continue...
