Just my $.02

Or even a used 500EFI. Kinda like a Boyd Coddington street rod with Z06 running gear underneath.

I'm sure Phil will help out with some ideas too!

Here's what's going to happen, and I speak from experience. You'll get it torn down, and when you start to rebuild you'll end up replacing everything. It's impossible to resist, especially when Phil shows you all the cool new stuff you can put in it.

I don't know about that... it looks just the way it did the last time Dons hands touched it. This is a pc of history. Just get a new Lipship boat. Unless phil can retromod it somehow.
