    Good looking ride! Frame work? Hopefully you mean some rust repair and not bending back into shape?

    And it looks like you've got a thing for Maroon haha. VT football fan by any chance?

        I'm his step father..
        The car is pretty nice i drove it home its smooth as silk..87k on the clock
        just need basic stuff for a car this old (tune up, brake line, and after i put it on the lift i saw that i will put a gas line too..)
        as for the frame, no the car is not sagging. doors all open perfect..we will re weld a piece of channel and plate it too..

        This is his first car so it will be a good learner..

        LOL and maybe after driving this a while the panther bug will bite him....

            put stiffer springs and an HO in it... the panther bug will have bit him.
