I built it for my self gave 500.00 drove it home...... was half done and my buddy wanted it more than me so i sold it to him and made me leave the 250 6 in it and he drives it all summer to work and loves it !

     Now that's what I call bringing one back from the brink, somebody else could have just as easy junked it, great job on the restoration.
