She's HOME....

Good ,for you... Always enjoy/enjoyed bring vintage Detroit iron,back to life. How well did the rocker panels & floor pans,hold up?

The rockers and floors are solid from what I could see. Luckily the car has great undercoating still. I don't expect to have any repairs needed since it only sat on dirt for right around a year, the rest of the time was on the concrete garage floor. It does, and always has, needed lower rear quarters along with the inside of the same area. Are they called trunk extentions? Some minor pin hole rusting above the rear wheels and driver side fender bottom.
I also suspect there is a rusted cowling, but I haven't really dug into the cause of the passenger side under dash leak. Hopefully just leaves built up around the fresh air opening causing the water to leak in.

"just get the damned thing going again" build huh? We ALL know how that goes - no matter, nice to see you've grabbed the ol' bull by it's horns and decided to get 'er going!!
Lol, it has to start with at least some sort of goal doesn't it?!
But really, we'll be a single income household for the next few years while our boy starts half day preschool so the project cash will be last priority. Just to get it running and driveable again, while being reliable and trustworthy, i'm estimating a few grand. After that, the motor and chassis work begins. Nothing incredible in the plans, but enough to make some newer mustangs and camaro to question if the should play with the old steel.:burnout:
