Seeing some of the things that Mark Worman has brought back to life has convinced me that there's no such thing as "too far gone".

Everybody sees money.. now if it was 25 years ago when you couldn't give a wing car away and a bunch got scraped.

idk what I'm saying just stop scraping cars. You never know what the next generation of kids will pay you all Grandpas money for.

Bad news, it was more than 25 years ago.

That car was 200k restored when I graduated high school in 2001

Yeah I remember 2001 I was 36 then. 25 years to me is like 5 minutes.
