Doing an inventory check will be the hardest part but after a few hours I had it a rolling chassis lots of missing pieces but well worth the build

With your box build did you get a title if not was it a nightmare to get registered ?

Welcome! Got a nice start for sure. You didn't by chance pick this up in WI/IL on craigslist did you? Looks very familiar to me.
