mike, pricey? yes. i picked it up and paid cash, so he gave me a nice break there.

but when your in for paint and finally realize that the FG isn't going to cut it and you need a hood straight away...i justified it. how many hours would it take me to engineer something i've never done before? i'd rather be driving than working.

fortunately for me, my backdate budget was funded by an accident (not my fault, other drivers insurance paid handsomely) that killed the passenger fender and front bumper. so it made sense for me.

that said, we're still fitting it, so i'll have a better idea early next week on how my "investment" fits!...
