I'm Heartbroken. Time to face reality that my Cuda is a parts car.

Agreed. We all have to admit to our limitations sometimes, best to stay focused with the purity of purpose and what your able to do. Direct quote from Uncle Tony’s Garage and the car guys ultimate survival guide. The fun part about a more door is you can beat on it hard and not feel guilty about it!
I can beat hard on any car and not feel bad about it! Just not with the wife along.. she went through a garage roof in a camaro with an idiot.. 12 surgeries later her teeth match again, so I can forgive her not being into the whole 'stomp on it!' thing.
