DANG-- before you go any further with throwing shop time at that thing, is the frame still any good? Sure would hate to see you waste your time on that if it were the case (the owner could send me his loonies <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )
What was the deal with the tailgate? GNARLY lookin'...
Did you ops check the window before tearing it off there?

Amazing.. your works reminds me of an old saying... when life gives you lemons, make lemonade <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> You have truly turned living in rust belt territory, and what it does to vehicles, into a market for your skills...
