I agree with Greg, not going to happen at 15 hours a week from the information given. If it needs quarters and the tail panel there's probably going to be more work you'll find once it's stripped clean. Have you located a tail panel for it yet? They're not easy to find.

Don't forget about Pandora's box.

When you got to cut the quarters off you never know what your going to find.

If it was me - Just start working on the car and when it's complete it's complete

Thanks for all the replys. Kevin that might be the nicest things anybody has said to me.LOL Kevin, Im getting closer to your neck of the woods I lost my sweet job at the dodge dealer know Im working in columbia Ill. Back to the car. Yes, I know is a up hill battle. While I did think life is going to get in the way. Sometimes I forget how busy you can be with a 10 year old son.
This week we only have one night that we have nothing going on. Maybe I should have called this thread reality check or seemed like a good ideal at the time. And it doesnt take scottland yard to know if it needs quarters its gonna need outer wheelhouses and trunk drop offs. So heres plan B, finally get started on the project and set a realistic goal,maybe G.G 2011. Thanks for the input good or bad (truthful) Mark

I think you made the right decision. When all is said and done, it is just a show. ONE show, and there will always be another one around the corner. If you rush your car, and maybe cut a corner to make said show..the regret over that cut corner will last far longer than the satisfaction of making some arbitrary deadline for a show....
