Love your car.

If anyone is looking, going to focus on another project over the winter.

Yup, never intended to keep it, wanted to make it right. If it doesn't sell oh well I will park it for the winter and try again in the spring. I have plenty of cars, and will be splitting a project over the winter with my body guy.
