Curtis, as you know it's in very good hands! Don't be shy with posting pics! T
I couldn't agree more. With all the parts I was able to sell, I recouped a nice chunk of change to put back into the car. So far, it's worked out well.

I hope to have a few more pictures next week.

I'll take the eight footer full of bondo so I can beat the living crap out of it.
Yeah not bad for it's age. I agree that there's a lot to be said about the Eight Footer and the way you treat them. I can't tell you how tempting Flat Black is for that very reason.
