I hope ya'll don't consider this cheating but... My new car buddy, the master fabricator, called today and offered to assist in the fabrication and modification issues I will encounter to build this car the way I see it in my mind. This guy builds master pieces from scratch and he is going to teach me how to do it right. I know I wont be able to claim it as "my" build but hey, I think I can handle that considering the opportunity presented. I'll keep you posted!
