My theory is get a beater. I've got my 72 fastback...it's solid, runs better then any 92 but it ain't pretty...That way I can pull my other car/cars (depending on the particular time period) apart and leave them apart if need be...that way I can do the job the way I think it should be...not having to hurry so I can still get to work on time...I still do here's and there's on my driver when I have time...maybe someday I'll give the Slowback what he diserves after all his faithful duty...after the hell I put him through, this is the one that deserves the Body-Off resto some day :) mikey king-of-battle@worldnet.att.net wrote: > > To restore or not to restore, that is NOT the question but rather when > to restore and in what order?!?!?!?!?
