I picked this car up a couple months back. Ran and drove decent. I knew it had some rust issues under the vinyl top and some around the rear wheel openings.
The drip edge was rotted off
And hacked up under all the bondo
So after digging into what was left
the gutters are all rotted out
So with being in too deep on price of a slant six car, whats the next step. After cutting out most of the rusted top , I was thinkin Make it Topless !
But that would only solve half the problems. Not to mention my wife wasn't too hip to the convertible, since there would not be a top for it.
Rear 1/4 glass didn't want to operate , rear seat was all ripped up. So I decided to go a different route !
I was just checking this option . Started checking fittment of stuff I had on hand and I started liking it !
So I cut down some parts , swapped some 73 ventless doors on it .
Had to fab up all the rear dutchman as it was all rotted off.
Do some rust repair in the trunk floor and make it into a bed .
