Once again there is a lesson to the new hobbyist who wants to build or restore cars, at any quality level.  You need the time, skill, tools, and money to do it right.  Buy one already done and enjoy the ride.  You will clearly loose $$$ every time by doing it yourself.  ... View more

What was he building, a "Rat-Vette"?  A crappy looking car has been accomplished.  Speedo does not work.  Interior (what interior!!)  Doubt if you could hear the in dash aftermarket radio.  No thanks, another fine car ruined.  ... View more
