Sounds like you did ok, I can't imagine that car not going over $3000 being a hard top, 350 engine, trans, sub frame. Just my thoughts, if you could get the fenders back right with a set of skirts the car would be worth three or four times what you paid for it.

Like you said you just want to have some fun for now. Looks good to me.

I had a set of the skinny port-o-walls on a 53 Chevy when I was in the Army early 60's, it looked good when it was sitting still.
