Sorry you had to let it go, but hey, if it wasn’t for you this thing may have never made it out of the Junkyard. :D

Looks like you did a great job building it. [cl

Yeah, Me Too! Sorry you had to let it go, and worse.....that you lost money on it. I certainly know about hard times, been without a job for three years. Got disability for a year, then on retirement (S.S.) I've lost a bunch on every rod and ole car i've had. My luck I guess. Hope you find another budget build.
