Update to the story.

I happened to run in to his son at NAPA and he told me his dad had taken the car to another guy in a small town about 20 miles south of here. He didn't tell me who it was or what the guy quoted him but he did say that his dad had thought it over and he was going to bring his car to me after all. Well, you would be proud of me, I took all of your advise and told him to tell his dad that I was not interested in doing anything for him, that he would have to take it the the other guy.
I really had to laugh when his son told me where he took the car. I know the guy, he was big into building mustang drag cars years ago and had his own shop. He is good at what he does but he is also very expensive. I am anxious to see what happens now.

Thanks guys.
