I admire anyone that takes on a project like that, I would love to restore a car from ground up but just dont have the patience anymore. Good luck with the project will look forward to watching the progress.

You are going to need more wire and more gas Mas!

That Cornet has some real potential though, keep at it and don't get sidelined, like i have! :oops:
