Rich,

Unfornuately, I live in West Virginia. I'd love to have some one come
over that knew about the car, and take a look at it. Oh well, guess I'll
have to jump in and start from scratch. I have all winter (or longer) to get
it done, I'm not in any hurry, I just want to make sure I do it right.
Although it has been garage kept and low milage, I think I tear it
completely down and bring it back to showroom condition. I'll be
needing alot of guidance as the project goes along. Nice to know
there are people that will give assistance.

Thanks,
Randy
