is it worth finishing it the way i am planning on? whats it worth now? should i do everything except paint. i am open to all opinions and comments, thats the whole reason im posting here... i will post some pics in a bit, car is black by the way, there are some pics on here somewhere i think rim and tire pics or el caminos?? anyway thx for the input hope it isnt too long just so indecisive and i know what i WANT isnt necessarily going to be the best choice unless i plan on keeping it forever. by the way the car handles amazing and i feel like it would be complimented well by being able to bang gears and not get thrown around like a rag doll in side a pinball machine. car has no roll at all. thx again
