My whole plan with this was to run it and do it cheaply.I knew there was a ton of bondo in it when I bought it and wanted to just paint and run it but when you have bondo dripping off its gotta go! My hours of work some say should be counted but I say no because I could be on a bar stool somwhere spending money. So I am trying to save a scrap piece of crap with a lot of time and little money. I am just trying to get this so I can drive it rattish style. Why am I cutting out metal then? I feel every project should be pretty much bondo free. This is a toy and not an investment so I am not going to pour money into it to make a show vehicle out of it. If I was going to do that, I would have started from scratch. I have a few other projects I am working on as well to be done for spring so this will be on and off the "burner"
