[quote=“boardjnky4,post:5,topic:27408"”] yeah im trying to get a hood and fenders and hes being a dick head about it. [/quote] He sings the blues and claims he needs it gone ASAP and can’t have it around anymore etc…if that is the case, you kind of lose leverage when negotiating price. If he needs the car gone, whether it be parting out or as a whole, he needs to be a little more willing to negotiate price. ---
