There is a very talented fabricator here in Jax area. I asked him to take a=
look and give an estimate to get the body panels completed molds, bucks & a=
ll and estimate of labor to fit/assemble etc.
A lot was done on the Fornwalt, but likely even more to get it all to fit & f=
inish. Will see what he comes back with.
