bryan_m Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 nah, my buddy has a body shop mike...... as long as it is mechanically sound, i will probably just do the interior and the chrome for now......in small steps, cant afford to do it all at once. im really fired up about this car, its me all over! i had 2 67 buick specials, a 2 door and a 4 door.... i drove the 4 door for 5 years, i loved that car, but parts are way too expensive for it........a fender is nearly 1000 bucks! cheers bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
