Raff..Mike,Doug,and Ron...after thinking long and hard about doing this,I'm leaning toward keeping the ole' X and getting her the paint,and cosmetics(trim pieces)she deserves! She's been a VERY DEPENDABLE car...don't run too shabby,either! After a good,constructive talk with Corinne,and finding out from our financial advisor that I can withdraw money from one of my retirement accounts,without being penalized...I'm gonna go for it! Might not be enough to get it ALL done...but,I'll be shopping around REAL hard! Just saw a '96' Vette owned by one of the locals,that was done by a fella next town over(Armada)and for the money,did a REAL NICE job! He had to do some body work as well!...which mine needs,also. All I can do is try my best to get a "good" job done at my price! In reality...running a 10 is important to me,in the total scheme of plans,but the X REALLY needs the "Facelift" badly! I REALLY appreciate ALL your opinions! Thank You,Friends! Randy B.
