Through inspection i realized the frame was bent, BADLY. The firewall was wrinkled, The toe board was wrinkled, and the steering column was collapsed. Fast forward a couple years, and a couple of rental houses later, i finally pulled the engine, sold it and bought a new frame, and a boxing kit from a guy online.
After that it sat for another 2 years rotting away. Eventually i got a job at a body shop where the boss happened to be VERY into old muscle cars. Even though he doesn't understand why i wouldn't want to make it look like it rolled off the showroom floor in 1967, he towed it to the shop for me so i could fix it.

Picked up a 1966 LeMans for a donor car for the front end mainly.

Set-up to pull the cowl over and forward


Getting everything straightened


The new corner section


At this point the "Damage" is mainly fixed. Its all restoration and modification at this point!
