Having an a-body straightened?

So, after asking just about everyone I knew that was into cars in the area, they all said the body guy I was talking to was a top-notch guy.

I took the car over to him to look at. He spent a bit more than half an hour going over the car...Didn't even put it on the frame jig. His verdict was there's nothing structurally wrong at all with the car and all the problems I've seen were from previous-owner abuse---the bent package-tray brace is from something hitting it, the folded edge was folded with a screwdriver or pliers, probably for speaker-wire clearance, the serious panel gaps were bad adjustment, the cut in the firewall wasn't from an impact---and that the car was more solid/straight than ninety-five percent of the cars he sees from that era. He didn't even charge me for the look-over, even though I tried to give him a bit of cash for his time. He seemed happy to see someone working on bringing an old mopar back.

So, the car has never been hit, never been ditched and is a great starting point. Now the real fun can begin, since I know I've got a solid starting point.

Gratuitous pics of the car, the door/fender gap, etc. are here. Ignore the last two. :)
