LOL, indeed it does. Looks photoshopped, but really just is that front clip.

Thanks. Had to weld on a new frame horn on the passenger side and weld the frame work around the driver headlight but the rest went right back into place. Everything is perfectly square and panel gaps are perfect. All the a/c components, radiator and damaged covers under the hood were included with the clip. Charged the a/c and drove it about 40 miles today. Really like the car.

2k you nailed it 2800 was the final cost. The original plan was to sell it and use the money as a down payment on a newer car but i think I'll just keep it and drive the wheels off of it! The car also came with a second set of wheels with new tires.

Major props. You have to be in the running for having one of the nicest $2800 cars extant. The fact your uncle had it dealer serviced really seals it.
