did his dad also tell you that the car was primed with spray paint. and when i was going to paint it for him the alt. fell off in to the motor because someone only put one bolt in it. and that the whole car had rust holes and they used news paper and bondo to fill them. so if you are going to paint it i would stip all the pimer off and fix the screwed up repiar job. i hope you didnt get screwed to bad and good luck with it.
