    Yes, Have the 1200 in your pocket and offer them 950. I bet you get it. Don't wait too long though it will be gone.
     
  5. Yes. I've seen the same asking price on rusty POS's that need wood -

    It looks REAL solid! I don't think it's real unreasonable in this present market. I've got a feeling it ain't gonna' last too long at that price! Somebody's gonna' scarf it up!

    that seems like a great deal. I paid 1000 for mine three years ago, and that looks even better than what I started with. They are not making those any more and with as many people that seem to be building A sedans lately I can see the prices going up considerably in the next few years.

    I went and looked at it too.

    My opinion, and apparently only mine, is that it isn't worth it to me. It looked much better in pictures than in person.

    Between needing the bottom 3 inches on every single panel, no other parts except for the shell, and not having 100 hours or so for metal work, I p***ed on it. I already have a couple projects/bodies, so that may be a factor too.

    On the good sides, what isn't rusted out is fairly straight. Patch panels are available. Doors and hinges are fairly solid. It's a *****en body style.

    If you buy it, Jason seems like an alright dude. Maybe you score that frame on e-gay that's down here in mechanicsville.
