    You've gotta see it in person....Modern day paints don't crack if it was prepped right....That doesn't mean it's not a good car

    These are just small pics, but you know what really jumps out at me? .... NOTHING .... and that is a cool thing. By that, I mean that it looks like the guy has a great theme for building the car and stuck with it.

    Everything is understated, and I really like the look (OK ... he went dark blue with the spark plug wires instead of black .... deduct 2 points ... ;)). The white letter tires/dog dish/black car/white stripes combo ... all it needs.

    Hoping it is as nice as it looks, and a good outcome. Look it over well, make sure the cowls don't leak and the car is solid. Being from that area of the country, the odds are in your favor. (y)

    It could be.


    .....OR.......

    It could be full of bondo, pop rivits, and sheet metal. Then a slick paint job applied and buffed out to a brilliant shine. Like this car:

    How do I know.....I DID IT!!

    Bottom line......as echoed above: Don't buy before you LOOK at it.
