Thanks for all the advice, the Colorado option looks the most attractive to me. However I talked to him on the phone tonight and he took it out of the storage shed and looked at it without his rose colored glassed on, he might cut the cord before he starts on it. The car doesn't look bad from 20 feet away but it's a lot of bondo over swiss cheese. He's a bit worried about opening a can of worms, so if he feels it's too much for him, he'll just drive it as is.He's going to drive it over some night and put it over my pit and we're both going to check it out to see if it's worth it. I'll get some pics for you when he does.
