Re: Starting over!!!
It burnt when my condo burnt to the ground!!!!!
I am not sure what I am going to do. I would like to paint it black and possibly put a BBC in. Time will tell. It is going to take a while. I have to get this going before summer.

Re: Starting over!!!
Sorry about all your losses. As long as you and family (if you have one) are ok that's all that matters. The rest can be rebuilt.

Re: Starting over!!!
Ok, so the fire damage is mainly on the topside of the hood and fenders. Bad enough to warp the hood? So you'll probably go with a cowl hood anyway? How's the cab? it can be rebuilt, we have the technology..
Sorry for your loss though.

Dang son! You've been away for a while. Looks like you now have a nice shop to work on it. You should make real progress now also.
