Glad to hear it. You'll run into hard times here and there during your build, some of them might even force you to reconsider continuing with the build. Even then, if your desire is solid, you'll shake it off and keep going. If you haven't gotten the Factory Service Manual, it's in the FAQ. That resource right there will be your best friend.

If the OPer wants to do a replica as a fan of a show he likes more power too him. May not be completly original and some may think it's tacky but i personally got nuthing against that. Hell, how many 68 and 69 dodge chargers have been painted orange...heh...

Since my car is red and i dont want to paint it white im going to modify it so it turns into a lion AND the right arm of a giant robot!!!

Ok, now that i have dated myself correctly at being in my 30s im going to sign off.....
