None of the body work or the engine

Not my cup of tea.

I'll be doing the smaller things too, an engine rebuilt requires a lot of skill, time and patience.

I'd rather have my guy, who does 2-4 engines a week do it

He'll have a higher success rate.

I've done only 2-3 with the great help of my dad for learning purposes.

If I did it alone, I bet my piston would probably shoot out through the oil pan //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I was about to ask the same thing.

So you are paying all these guys to rebuild your front end?

This must be costing alot more than you thought intitially?

****, loving this thread. Where at in CO is your Dad's shop? Sub'd for sure!

Hopefully the paint will still match up and won't be too faded compared to the new hood and fender!!

Good luck, car will be sick when it's done. These things are real sleepers and don't look that mean but **** can they move, but auto FTL!
