Damn Gary....I'm thoroughly impressed! You really jumped in with both feet! It actually looks rather fun. Don't stop, whatever you do!

Thanks Kevin... Although, I cannot take credit. I took terribleted's advise and hired a guy at $40./hr + materials. He seems to be honest, knowledgeable, and a skilled metal worker. His name is Kono and he's got a pretty cool shop in Phelan. A little bit more body work and drop the engine/transaxle, then off to the blaster. He says I'm about at the halfway($) point.

Nice. Is this one going to be a museum piece or are you going to be driving it?

As much as it's costing me to fix, I think I'll be buried in it when I die.
