I know! It's been 2 years since I've even heard it run, much less drive it. I'm figuring it'll be on the road within a month. I just can't wait!

Any body will do except a super. The repairs should run you ~$1500 to have done (plus repainting). If you can find a good body for that price, I'd go for it. Body work is my least favorite subject....

I looked at these systems a while back. If I remember right, quality units were ~700$ or more. Eastwood used to sell them, but I don't see them listed in their current catalog.

Here's the link to Btlmex's system. It's $1500, and only works on 73-79 cars. I imagine that means Supers only.
