    I know how much it will take, but at least now I can take my time on it.
    Look at it this way a already factory non-frame off resto car will cost you around $30-40,000. A frame off resto mod one being $60k+. Now if you buy one for a free grand thats going to need to be restored or a good bit of work done its going to take you a few years and probably $20,000+.

    Not knocking you just saying...

    When did I say this? I don't mind people laughing. My car gets me from A to B and gets pretty good gas mileage. That's all I need right now. TN is full of cools guys and gals that like me for me, not my car. This was a thread to get ideas and help, not to argue about my logic.

    Thats great. An I agree with you on Top Notch, but does not with a thread about ideas and help not also run hand in hand with the logic behind your rebuttles?
