OH MAN!!
I am so very sorry. I can't even imagine how you feel. I have followed your build for years and borrowed many, many ideas.
With any other kind of car (Camaro, Nova, Chevelle) swapping stuff over is easy....but these stinkin' cars take so much fabrication....ugh!!!
I'm really sorry.
Hang in there!

Tink. I am sooo late to the story. I just seen that Jim bought your rear end and realized what happened. We were just finishing our cars about the same time. I am super glad you didnt get hurt too bad. I feel for you. More hours than we can count farting with these damn things. Not to mention $$$$$$. I know you learned alot on this build, hopefully you find a new love and continue on. Next build will be even better I'm sure.
