Thought I'd post a few pics of what I started with. Found it on CL, it was a second owner 64k mile car. The second owner only had it for less than 6 months. He was in his late 60's and was what I'd call a tinkerer. Had a little shop in his garage where he could spritz up a few areas and try to make a few bucks on a sale. Unfortunately, he threw a little "fudge" as he called it, over some rust and sprayed over it. Both front fenders need lower patches as did both lower quarter panels and the trunk pan was full of pinholes. The floor pans are very solid though.
This is pretty cool.I spends hours on craigs list,ebay.I cant seem to find something like this.Great find.Cool project.
I usually don't spend any time on either of them. One day I decided to look for a cleaner body to start with than the one I had. This was one of the first that popped up. Drove 930 miles with a tow dolly to get it. The night before I got to NJ, a guy stopped by with cash in hand. The owner refused to sell it because I was in route from MI. Glad he kept his word to me. Still some good people out there.
