Thanks, I wont be buying from Morad, that may be collision prices but 400 is way too much. I would fab first, I do my own body work, welding and sandblasting. Im not worried about the value factor, my daughter already has too much into this car but she has drivin it a year and a half. When Im done, she should get another 2-4 years out of it and it should have some resale value, or I will keep it... not that I need any more "summer" cars. It simply would be junk if it went through this winter with the deterioration of those rockers and other rear undercarraige pieces unattended. The rockers are part of the structural strenght in a unibody. More later. Thanks again
