Good Day List,
I did not re-post this message from last week, it just appeared. (must be
those microsoft ghosts). Please dis-regard. Thank you for the responses I
did get last week. Decided against that particular car but still looking
for a CBB with a good body that needs an engine/transmission.
Thanks again, Tom
