Oh boy!  I can see great feedback coming from that cat lol.

Thinking about a wall of stupidity in my garage to put all the overnighted checks on going forward lol.

I am finishing the body work on a 02 Dakota I am rebuilding. If all goes well I will paint the box this weekend.

I tried to sell my 56 project on all the free sites mentioned with zero luck. I was losing my storage and got desperate by throwing in my 350/350 combo for a total of $1200.
I decided to bite the bullet and listed the car only on Ebay Saturday. It was sold for my buy it now price of $1200 Sunday to another rodder in CA.  I have my money and I have my drivetrain and best of all a new rod buddy in CA. I am not a big Ebay fan anymore but it worked out for me this time.
Paypal on the other hand is getting ridiculous! I only asked for a $250 deposit which was promptly made. Then I have to wait for 21 days to get my $242 dollars. I have perfect feedback but it does not matter to those * anymore. I use them only when I have to but I dislike them very much, I have to be in dread mode to use the bastards. The buyer left positive feedback so I got my momey.
I have had good luck on craigs list with other stuff but the idiot scam attempts are plain stupid. I can not believe people get pulled in by those creeps. I did find my own way to fight back, I let the bastards think they have a fish on the line and spend the money to overnight a bogus cashiers check to me.  I laugh all the way to the garbage can!

Thanks guys!

How bad is it? Paint bubbled, or scorched and missing completely? Sheet metal warped?

Scorched for the most part, door and hood got it good on the right side, I can replace that stuff, the window post on the right side is scorched pretty bad.

A buddy of mine had his 66 Ford PU sitting next to his Ford Explorer which decided to start on fire for no reason. It damaged the side of the 66 and I offered to fix it for him since it was not insured.  I do all my own body work but fixing burnt sheetmetal is a new one for me. Any tips on prep will be appreciated.

We are at $3.24 in Sioux City IA right now.

My condolences to Sam and family. The loss of a child is very hard to deal with, my prayers are with you.

I may take you up on that, give 40 and I a reason to head that way for an event.

08 Vette rag top!  Hey for a daily driver!

I am looking at a rolling Chevy frame near Fort Wayne IN and need a economical way to get it back this way. I am 5 minutes north of Sioux City IA.

Yup, put her and the kid up in a nice apartment with running water and cable.  At least he has air in the motor home lol!

I look at their web site and that is not a bad way to go. $369 for the dual spring suspension with the drop I am thinking.

What is the best chassis building book out there folks?

Thanks a bunch!

Maybe I should go opposite on this, Ford suspension and drivetrain in a Chevy. That would get a few comments lol.
