Looks like a doable project. How much time and what skills do you have?

I'd personally fix it but, I know how.

Fixing it for you is up to your skill level or, is the car worth it to you, for you, to pay someone to fix it ?

Well I love my car to deathand I would love to get it fixed. But I wanted a second opinion from fellow F-body owners as to what you would do. Me persoanlly I plan on getting it fixed either by myself or paying someone. Most likely myself unless I can't do it for some reason. Now if there is anyone out there who is experienced in this that wants to help me out feel free to IM or PM me. I know I will need a D-side 1/4 panel,full rear re-allignment and a tank I belive. But that's the tip of what has to be done to fix her.
