We agreed on $850. $1200 to $850 isn't bad negotiating. I have my concerns but I can't stop thinking about how little blow-by it had. As long as the engine and transmission are in as good of shape as I think they are, the rest is cosmetic. I have the ability, space and tools to do just about anything but pull an engine or transmission, so that being said, I am confident the rest can be repaired by myself.

Next step is getting the title for the cash and then renting a trailer and strapping her up to the old Ford.

I hope I am making a good decision here. I know y'all don't know me well but when I get into a project, I take pictures and videos when I can. I like to share information as much as I take it in and I focus a lot on the small gotcha details that hang up many beginners, like me. Follow my threads, help me out, and I will do my best to spread the information.
