    I won't say things haven't slowed a lot.Because they surely have.But the sell-out's of incomplete cars and the pricing on them has gotten to a point it is a buyers market.As long as you rebuild a documented winner.........the resale is still there.It is a major point of all this is buying it right in the first place.Turning winners over for a profit and loving each one of them.
