WELL...curiosity killed the cat...as they say!! Could NOT help 
myself. I JUST now....3am went to the garage (worked NIGHTS for FUC%%
^^&&***^%#$kin  years. The 1/4's are junk!! SUPRISED????? NO!!Good 
thing all i really needed was patches above the wheel openings. I've 
tried for SEVERAL YEARS to get salvage yards to trim what i need from 
a 1/4 panel on a 4 door above the wheel opening,...NO!!still want the 
whole 1/4 panel $$$$. The descriptions i got over the "phone"(my 
mistake..SHOULD have been email for evidence) are TOTALLY BULL#@$%^%$%
%^&^&!! No bondo..hohohohohohohohoho.NO dents other than mentioned in 
the auctionm...hohohohohohoho. The asshole EVEN cut away way more 
than we talked about,..,.,.,,..I WAS SUPPOSED to get the whole 
inner/outer wheelhouse(inner fenderwell)and trunkfloor......the #$%%
$#^546456$%   trunk floor was even cut away!!!!!! SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTT---
!!!! Good thing i'm broke now...plane tickets to Calif are fairly 
cheap...compared to what $$$$ i'm out!!!!! Thank god there 
is ...Xanax...here i come..gimme a couple of dozen beers also!! Coma 
tonight...tomorrow...I'm going to ask EBAY to send a body shop 
estimator of THEIR choosing to look this shit pile over!! BUT...i 
STILL cannot leave  negative  feedback for the asshole!!..as it says 
in the auction.."leave ---- feedback and get NO refund"!! GEEEEEE how 
many people have they BOUGHT OFF??????? FU@#$@#%@#%@ i'm no rich dude 
who can AFFORD to throw $$$ away!!!!!!..i'm #@!%#$%#$%#@524 laid 
off....just want to work on my old cars for relaxation(sickness i've 
NEVER out grown)..  I'm most likely resigning from ebay...will rely 
on AMC friends to locate parts i need. SLOW as molasses..BUT almost 
always honest! Blood pressure pegging the guage right now......Joe
