hehe you're a phunny guy.
They buy it in bulk from a speshul place. You can't get it in small amounts.

I was going to say, you don't get that stuff at Lowes.
And I already have my set. So I am good....except I still need to tear apart my oval. Me thinks I might go to a junk yard and get a se oval to kill.

except they are harder to work on then the SVT ones ... I think it took Elky 2 or more hours to put mesh in my SE grill ....
yeah, SE grills are more difficult becasue of the amount of material that contacts the ring.
makes for a lot of sanding and grinding.
the SVT grills are just a few snips with side cutters and a little sanding.

got a verdict for the future of #1900?
I'm also curious to know if you are fixing or parting it out.
Either way, let us know if you plan to have a "let's tear into this SVT" party

the body work required is what sucks and making the price of repair skyrocket. sucks...
i dont' recall, but i didn't notice the damaged c-pillar in the ebay ad.
rear locating arms are nothing....and the front susp. shouldn't be too bad either.

x2 to that! i miss lowell, haha
i think i am going to try and fix it for now.
i already have the rear arms on their way here, i just need to get the front suspension stuff and the rear window.
the body work could be done for under $300 but i dont know if i want to do it.
then there is the issue of the rear window.
tgo, the ad did state there was damage to the c-pillar, it was from the tree branch that broke the rear window

rear window shouldn't be too expensive. considering it costs $150 to $175 for a new windshield.
