    Send it through a media blaster and see what comes out. Then you'll know pretty quick.

    I looked at the Oz forum - couldn't believe he was able to make a car out of that scrap. It looks like he was able to salvage some then make all new pieces for the rest using the 'junk' for a template. Great skills and more patience then I could imagine. Yeah, I know there is satisfaction in bringing back a hulk from the dead.

    I tend to get rusty cars because I can afford them them but none of them have been like that one. I believe my wife would shoot me if I came home with that.
