    Thanks, that's why I made that "I don't like it" comment on your thread. '79 Coupes are the best. The project is on the back burner until I can find a descent donor car that isn't to nice to scrap. I have an '83 that ws going to be a donor but a guy is coming to buy it so I don't have to part out a savable car.

    A friend of mine that I grew up with. I did most of the bodywork/sanding and he did the welding, massaging, and spraying. It has some imperfections, but is a lot better as you can see. Hopefully I can keep it in the 2500# range. It was COMPLETELY gutted when I bought it.

    Fortunately the dash hull and wiring is intact. He just took out the heaterbox and all the rest of the interior. What motor combo are you going with?

    Good to know, I'm alway's needing a finisher for projects that I can't sell them on pavers or just plain ol concrete work. I have a few good crete guys but you know how scheduling can be. We'll have to grab a beer and trade cards.

    The car is on hold due to funds and I bought a car to play with for my son.
