    Buying Project Car, Long Distance

    B S Lounge: To all the guys, that responded to my plea for help. Thank you for your input. The reality is, that the only way I am going to: check vin plate, to see if it looks like it's been there for 70 years, check title to see if everything besides number of doors checks out, make sure...
