Anyone near Chicago/NW Indiana/southern Wisconsin

While I agree with you in part, Karl, I also look at it this way: Even if he does end up having to sell the car after we all help him put it back together, he will get more money out of it in a driving condition than he will as just parts to be assembled. That way, after the medical bills are paid, he may have some extra for other expenses. As a husband to a wife with Crohn's disease, I know that doctor's bills aren't the only expenses. There are also medications, and those are not cheap. One of my wife's medications runs $1500 for just two doses!

So regardless if he keeps the car and drives it or he does end up selling it, we will be putting him in a better position than if we leave things as they are right now. That's my $.02, and I'm sticking to it.


Ok, good point.

But there are two issues that I can see.

#1 Does the owner WANT us to do this for him? Is he willing to accept us to build the car back to more of a "stock" condition than the "balls out" condition that he wanted to build originally?

#2 How much more will the car be worth after we are done? If I remember, David down in Georgia had some hard times selling Goldie which was supposed to be in very good condition when he sold it. I tried to look up the for sale ads, but they were done on craigslist and are no longer available.
