[BaadAssGremlins] Re: 78 Concord AMX & more

["rebade1" <rebade1@xxxxxxxxx>]

The owner tells me that the original car was silver and had no decal. 
He painted it. Looks like the hood may or may not need to be 
repainted. He wasn't that careful, as you can see red paint on the 
dash on the drivers side.

Doc, I will check with my son on the fender flares. Please hold them 
for me. How much do you want for them?

Eddie, I may want some of those items you have also. I'll let you 
know.

Thanks for all the information on the rust. I'll have to check those 
areas out when we get the car.
