So I'm watching American Restoration and he charged a guy $4800 to restore a u select it. I'm thinking that is a little high... I guess it was a shell, with no mech or base, but really?
And yes, I'm sure he found the entire mechanism at a flea market!!

When I watched I noticed he charged about 5 grand for everything... Boared with that show now... still watch Pickers from time to time... But I noticed these 3 kids in my house so I spend time with them since the weathers nice... and I bought a 1950 Studebaker...

AWESOME looking car in my books! Prior to having a kid I never would have noticed, but now when I see that front grille, I can see eyes, a mouth, and even a moustache!! All thanks to Pixar Cars! lol Again, glad to see great car, and I love to hear it when people fulfill their dreams
