I had to stop and think - yup I actually bought the car back in 1990 or 1991! It was listed in the local paper and was only a couple of towns over from me. I bought it off of Bob G, I guess he raced a lot at Englishtown. He never titled the car, it was still under your name. I kind of rat-rodded it and drove it around for a while, around 2005 or 6 pulled it apart and sent it to a shop that had popped up close to home and then closed a few years later. I was estimated to have a painted shell for $X, but at X + 50% I was still only in primer- I had to pull the car. Life got very busy afterwards and it's sat on the back burner since. In hindsight I should have sucked it up and just saw it through, lesson learned. It's only going to cost (a lot) more now. But ready to take it the rest of the way. The engine is at a machine shop for rebuild, I've been told everything checks out, has a lot of miles on it but no issues so that's good to hear. Have collected a lot of really nice parts for it.
