Anyone near Chicago/NW Indiana/southern Wisconsin

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.

This, too, is a good point. Talking about this is all fine and good, but we need to get the owner's input, and see if he even wants the help, or if he just wants to wash his hands of the whole thing at this point. All this talk is just that if he doesn't want the help.
