Honestly though I'm saddened by its fate, but it's yours to what you wish.

As long as folks with lots of cash can buy a Dearborn car and turn it into a hot rod for less then one already modified or incomplete, this will happen.

In 1984 you couldn't buy a Brookville or I would have tried to. Quicker and easier then what I had to do. (But I did hone my hammer welding skills.)
Here we go again. Suggest you reread post 43.
