I sectioned 2 ZR-1 Corvettes together too!
If you don't mind the "salvage title" and the BS to get it reinspected, if your state requires it) and you have the time and resources to do it, there are some great deals out there. It's onl totaled because the insurance company feels it is cheaper to pay you than repair the vehicle. That being said, I have had guys who bought/repaired totaled cars send me stuff (remember I only do frame repair as a business I am not a body shop) and I have sent it back saying I'm not fixing it it's too far gone you can't pay me enough do do it!
Tell your Dad I said good job, and you have done good work too!

thanks man! i do what i can but my dad is the one with the real talent for sure. hes been doing rebuilds for about 13 years or so. doesnt do much lately but he used to build them and sell them. everyone that bought them were happy to get a damn near brand new car/ truck for 3/4 the price of brand new. hes done 3 or 4 explorers, a mini van, a taurus, an escape, 2 silverados, my ranger, the blazer i bought for my wife and my f-150. hes done a few more but those are just the ones i can remember. heck, his 96 explorer that he built for himself only had 600 miles on it when he bought it from the salvage yard.
