Well, this is certainly a shame... I was actually thinking that, if the
cost were along the lines of $5000 or so, including shipping, it would be
a decent deal for me, since I'm probably looking about that much money for
the bodywork and painting of my '65 B project. Of course, you'd have to
add painting to the price but it seems like starting with a fresh shell
would be much easier than prepping a (partially new) repaired shell... But
then, would it really be the same car? Not sure about that, seems to be a
philosophical question that I'm too tired to think about tonight. Oh well,
guess I will end up searching for a caring (and cheap!) bodyshop.... And
learning from Skye's on-going 'experience' on his web site....
