Please tell me I made a smart commitment....

Thanks guys.

I met with the owner this morning and saw the title to the car along and made a down payment before I pick it up. The VIN does in fact start with LP23H72XXXXXX. The car was originally red with black interior and the black vinyl top.

DaveBonds--I appreciate your advice, that makes me feel a bit better about everything now. I suppose I'll shelve the 360 for now and maybe give it a shot again another day. I don't really want to send all those parts I bought back to Summit, as I had the engine work all done at a machine shop specifically to those parts.

Either way, I'll get the car up here and start breaking it down. What sucks most of all is I have to take off at the end of this month to flipping Altus, Oklahoma for three months of training, so I won't even have a chance to really do anything with this car until I leave.

I've never broken a car down before to where the whole thing needs paint and I really have no idea what all it entails. I suppose this is the best way to learn though--by doing it. I'l enlist my dad's help or something and when I get some time, I'll tackle it towards the end of the year.
