Bodyshop #2....

oh, just saw that you needed quaters too. In that case, the 8k seems a little more reasonable. I would spend the money now and sleep at night knowing that it will be money well spent in the end when you have the finished product that you can call your own. BTW go with your wife on this one. My GF loves my car hobby so I know I found a keeper.

I gave up a long time ago trying to spend as little money as possible. It doesn't get you very far and you ultimately end up spending the money anyways. I've worked my whole life to realize this dream and it will not be taken from me so long as I have the patience to persevere. Keep the dream alive John for all those who have had theirs crushed and taken away.
