Thanks for the input, a dork is one of the least offensive things I've been called for building the car so I take that as a positive. Jsut restoring cars as a hobby for about the last 10 years normally stock, Thought this would be cool, but to each his own......as for too much time on my hands, like any restoration, it's not worth doing unless it's done right.
And before the inevitable you need a life followup, I have one.....a nice home, career, wife and family...........it's just a hobby!
