Looking to the collective for some advice.

I have a car that I am getting ready to paint and will be reselling it 
after the paint and interior are finished.

I have installed a new motor, clutch -etc.  The body has two bad spots 
that will be repaired before painting.  I has rust in the roof over the 
cross member in the engine compartment and a PO installed vents in the 
back deck which I will have removed.  The affected areas will be rebuilt 
with metal and no fill.  It is also getting the hood replaced with a 
fiber glass vented version from Bob Byers and a new windshield.

The question is there are vent slats in the front fenders and NACA ducts 
in the lower quarters at the engine compartment.  My body man/painter 
has offered to also remove these body mods during the repainting 
process.  Painting, body work and interior fixes will be about 10k.

Also I have a twin turbo set up to go on the car.  It currently has a 
Demon 750 that runs great.  The turbo set up is a Gail Banks 850 blow 
through carb with manifold and turbos.  I am thinking that it will 
require opening up the rear fender wells for the exhaust.   Don't know 
if it would add 5k value to the car if installed?


The car has about 45K miles and I am looking to maximize the resale value.

I have attached a photo of the car when I picked it up and it shows 
these particular body mods.  The question is would it be worth it to pay 
extra to have these mods removed?

Thoughts and opinions are welcome.


Thanks,

jerry knotts
