    I swapped one ... requires an air chisel and a welder ... Fairly simple once you have the fenders, radiator, grill, bumpers, etc , off the car ...

    Steve, maybe you could just cut the section out and weld in a patch from the core support, would be a lot less work I would think. I have a mig welder, bring it up here and we'll set it straight.

    I thought it would be a little easier. Mine is not so bad, but figured since I have everything out and room to work, I would give it a shot.

    I'm just gonna sand it down, prime it and paint it. It will look good enough for the time being.

    My order from summit is gonna be here monday.....can't wait to finally get her back on the road.

    Hows yours coming along Shaun?

    I'm mobile :D, might make a trip to Scott and Todd's on Saturday at some point, not sure yet. Hopefully I'll do a tune up tomorrow night, but we'll see how all that goes. Ever get rid of the other car?

    PS, now I'm in the market for a hood, my frame actually just falling apart, skin is still good, maybe I'll go glass and have the scoop I want installed. I think I cut up the wrong hood:(
