Yours could be just as aggressive. The condition of the chassis is what mak=
es the difference.

Mike,
That's a very aggressive project you're undertaking. Here is what my 100 BN=
1 looked like when I got it.
Regards,

I am beginning to understand what a restorer friend of mine once told me. =
He said he could restore three BJ8 cars in the time it took to do a 100. V=
irtually no parts I have bought from the usual suspects for my BN2 are easy=
to install. Nothing fits like it was made for the car. This morning I ma=
de an attempt to bolt up the two bump stop boxes over the rear axle. None =
of the holes in the part lined up with the holes in the body above the rear=
axle. I will have to auger out at least three of the holes in the bump st=
op box to get all four bolts in. This car is fighting me every step of the=
way. I guess it's like my restorer friend who has since passed told me wh=
en he sold me that rolling frame with a few body panels on it, "Go ahead bu=
y the car, it will give you a reason to live". I am beginning to understan=
d what he meant. Half the time I am pulling my hair out and inventing new =
curse words, but I go out to that garage everyday and try to accomplish som=
ething on the car, even if I end up beating my head against the wall, I kee=
p coming back. Rant over.
