thanks for all the kind words. All you guys are great. I have hit some road blocks at the moment. But, that is only temporary and in the end I'll be better off.

Thanks! Yea, the red one was special. Even though I have this one now, I bet I'll continue to kick myself in the arse on a regular basis for ever selling it. Or at least until this one is done.....LOL This one will be everything I envisioned for the red one but didnt make happen. First thing is to get it running then take care of all of the sheet metal work and rust repair. If things go well for me over the next year, I'll take it down to Donny for media blasting... before I get too into all that metal repair. I want it to last.

I did start a resto thread: http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/showthread.php?t=14461 I'll post some more pics of 'Red' in that thread later.

Thanks for all the kind words.

Cool! I like hearing stories like that. Would rather see 'em brought back to life than rott away.....

I've seen to many just sit and waste away around here. Heard the "I'm gonna fix it one day" line alot too.

I know of a complete Super Bee that has been just sitting and rotting away for the last 15 years. I go see the guy once or twice a year and he still tells me he's gonna get to it. One day. But it is just wasting away. Oh well its his and not mine so it is what it is...

Thanks for saving one.
