RE: Sad save

[Scott Monfort <smonfort@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could always keep your eyes open for a nice, inexpensive four door 
sedan and convert it into a two door sedan using the parts from the two 
door sedan you just purchased. Some may cry foul, but it's probably the 
best use of your parts. Unless you're VERY good at body work or have a 
lot of spare cash, that sedan will be a tough car to restore.

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
