Road Runner Nest

Sorry, whats FBBO? I'm not up on a lot of this stuff. I don't care what THEY say, anything can be saved.And that car deservers it.Just like the 71 SSP close to me, high option car, it deserves it too.

Great! Im glad the right person got the roof at least. That donor looks too good to cut up.
