It is what this site is for. Of course, do it. If nothing else someone will learn something or see something they might want to do. So, no one can lose here.

The car looks good so far. Body work is great. We have the main hoop in as well. We also have the wheels and tires.

Of course you should. What I did on mine though was wait until I'm dropping everything in the car before I started the thread that way it doesn't get dragged out too long. You're going to hit snags along the way. I say build it and take lots of pictures and then start posting when you are about to finish.

I'd love to see it, it is out of my reach for future projects, but would be good to see it done...

I'm pretty much doing the same thing with my 93. I'm just out of money.

well basically im at the stage where almost all the body work. just have to finish up the cowl trimming, fix a rust spot in the floor, cut out some excess metal and block all the primer back out. then it will be ready for paint. i think thats when im going to post pics. i have the motor just have to get it machined and get the heads cam and rotating assembly which shawn is helping me out with. but just as a little teaser the cars down at burkhart right getting lots of goodies.
