Eventually I want a power adder so forged is the safest bet.

Oops I got you confused with r.barn, my bad. You are right though you see a lot of rust buckets just rotting in peoples back yard or in fields in the middle of no where....... Ive bought a couple and restored them with a bud of mine. I already want another.... wheres a field or a barn at?

i actually found another 65 fastaback 289 c code 3spd but a fastback no the less! its here in a barn im trying to get the guy to sell it to me he keeps saying hes had it longer than his wife? i think she wants it gone it i told her i would fix it if i got it. i do auto body repair for a living so it wouldnt be a problem since i have access to all the tools and a place to store it at! but i dont think he wants to come off it? it needs floors and probably a cowl repair but the quarters are fairly solid just need a couple of small patches!
