Ok, thanks for the heads up. I hadn't tried to adjust the size. Hopefully this is doable for you. I think Mancini has good advice regarding only replacing what is needed. I guess the real test will be when it finally gets stripped down to bare metal, then I can see what I am working with or they will be working with. Like I said earlier, the car is probably full of putty here and there and I would like to remedy that, bring some strength back to the weak body, add subframe connectors, and beef up the suspension before I throw the stroker motor in. But I guess (from a novice perspective)at what point does a person deam a panel not salvagable and go to the trouble of replacing the whole thing?
