    You just put a cage and tin work in that.
    All that money shot.....
    All that polishing gone..

    At this point would it be worth it. (Money wise)
    To get another car.
    Strip it
    Do these street outlaw mods you want.
    Do it one last time.
    Swap the running gear over.
    Then you don’t need to cut up this car.
    Then you can sell the rolling chassis
    You can drive until the fab is done.
    Take a week and swap stuff over.
    Redo the wiring , relocate things you want to...
    Tub the dam thing. Put some meat under it.
    4 link..
    Paint the interior while things are out. Etc.

    Not raggin on ya.
    But the rolling chassis could pay for the new body and a portion of that 25.5 cage.

    You have cut this car up a few times.
    I think at this is a turning point for the situation.

    Like I said. Not trying to dis you or anything and if you tell me to fuck off that’s fine too.
    I know there is deep feeling for this car. I understand 10000 %. It happens to me all the time.

    But

    IMO opinion if you want to go full nasty then there comes a point where your car is not the car you had.
    Just throwing shit out there man..

    Still minus something. After I saw the minus sign I stopped looking.
    I think I’m going to be in trouble as I have been sick the past 3 winters and I think no 4 is on the way

    But that's it.
    Temps start to moderate a bit today and next week. They're saying 50's later in the week.

    @Kolunatic a plumber here up in Spartanburg was soldering a pipe in the wall of a town house. Ended up burning three homes. Don't know if the joint held, though.

    I’ve heard about other stories. You have to be so careful. I try hard if I have to solder in wall to shove insulation up wall, use fire blanket,and cool gel.
