    with limited resources and lots of unskilled labor we got it back on the road last night and made it to motorama. (disclaimer- not done yet, gas can riding shotgun, driveline exposed and lots of other saftey issues)

    I thought that looked like a fresh car in Evil's photos. The car looks even better the second time around.

    WOW! I love it!! I was admiring it in the other Long Beach threads and never knew it had been in a wreck.

    I like the new windshield. Much more better-looking.
