No winning money wise restoring a car like this Carl. Just to start $10,000 to weld all the panels, line up doors, fenders, hood trunk lid plus the price of panels then $20 to $25,000 paint and body

I hadn't noticed the shields but now that you mentioned it I do. You need to add 2 more bolts to the cover.
