It burnt when my condo burnt to the ground!!!!!

I am not sure what I am going to do. I would like to paint it black and possibly put a BBC in. Time will tell. It is going to take a while.

I have to get this going before summer.

Sorry about all your losses. As long as you and family (if you have one) are ok that's all that matters. The rest can be rebuilt.

Ok, so the fire damage is mainly on the topside of the hood and fenders. Bad enough to warp the hood? So you'll probably go with a cowl hood anyway? How's the cab? it can be rebuilt, we have the technology..;)
Sorry for your loss though.

Dang son! You've been away for a while. Looks like you now have a nice shop to work on it. You should make real progress now also.
