Looks like my boy Chris here is no car salesman, LOL! Let me help along a bit.

We picked up the car a few weeks ago to strip, sheetmetal, and mini tub the car and put it all epoxy, seems roughted in ready for paint prep. A primed roller. The car is a original RS / SS Big Block car with really rare color, Corvette Bronze and white interior. The body was pretty nice, real solid only needing quarters, a trunk pan and lower fender patches. Floors, doors, SS hood are all original and were almost perfect. The outer body has been chemical striped and the jams, floors inside and out have all been sand blasted. My brother David is finishing the quarters, mini tubs, trunk pan and smooth firewall this week and we will epoxy prime and rough in the panel seems and heavier bodywork in prep for Chris painter to do all the ding work, blocking, and paint prep and he will paint it. We also are welding in a G link in the rear so all the welding on the body is finished. Nothing is being done to the front Subframe as that was to be replaced at a later stage.

So as Chris mentioned, we will be finished early to mid week next week, I will post some pics soon as we are done.

Chris and I are good. This was all the work we were supposed to do. As for the not needing the money comment Chris made. Believe me, he does not need the money. However, if he buys this 100 acres, he probably won't be spending the other money it takes to finish the car. I told Chris if he thought he might sell it, sitting at my place was the perfect place to have it for sale.

So the car is in Orlando Florida right now but will be in Dothan Alabama next week

Well, Frank is definitely better at descriptions than I am for sure! I do have original side windows, interior gauges, door panels, bumpers, drive shaft, rear tailights, center console. Windows are great condition. I guess the rest could be used if you wanted to, but it would need to be cleaned up, I do have a set of brand new door handles, window and full molding set that will go with the purchase as well. I don't have the original wheels.

We cocoon the dash the dash during the process so dash, cluster and wiring are still complete. The car is clean enough the dash and wiring probably never need to come out. The side glass stayed in and was covered with cardboard and plastic to protect it. Rear glass is out but will come with the car, we could drop it in. Windshield was sacrificed. Chris has all the interior stuff, but it all needs recovered. The car still has the original 12 bolt rear. All the RS stuff is there but needs refreshed.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.
