Seriously, I got holes... Somebody help me PLEASE!!
FABO,
So, long story but will keep it short as possible. Picked up another 65 'Cuda to use as a 'parts car' because, why not... Car was 'marketed' as a Commando minus the engine, guy sold engine separately and first... I didn't know Commando cars were a thing, thought they were just cars with Commando engine(s) but I'm a newbee.. Anyway, the car has less rust, a Tac, torsion and sway bars, and a 8.75 rather than a 7.25 rear like the S's do, so I figure why not build this one rather than the rusted POS that I started with... Plus it's basically striped for paint already...
Thats where I sit, but nothing can be simple... I got holes... Not Rust holes but what appear to be trim holes where there shouldn't be no f**ing trim. Lookit...
They start at the front of (both) doors and run to the back of the car. My other 'Cuda don't got these...
Nor do any pictures that I find on the inter web of "65 'Cudas.
Any body got an Idea of what these could be for? The guy I got the car from gave me a lot of extra trim and stuff (when I'm done I'm going to offer it up here on FABO) so I can't easily match up odd or extra pieces, said he went through 4 'Parts Cars' building up this one. And I believe him because he threw in 4 extra rear windows... (anybody want a rear window for a '65 Cuda, let me know Ha Ha, but what do you do not take 'em??) But the guy was a crazy person (of which there are many out there) because he kept things like the back windows and didn't have and engine... How can someone go through 4 parts cars and not have an engine...
Anyway Do I fill these holes before I send this to the paint shop? Or, do I run a spare spear down the side? Did I mention the VIN shows this is a Taxi.. (V8525xxxxx). Did 'Cuda Taxis have special trim down the sides???
Maybe I'm a crazy person... I bought a 'Cuda with no engine and didn't even check it for holes...
Thanks in advance for your advice and or assistance, I love FABO.
