Can these Fast backs be saved?

well now you get to talk to a northern canadian that is used to heavy rust or putty mobile's to work with. you said it would be a race car not a street car so you will be building a cage and floors and have a simple dash on a flat sheet of tin. tilt one piece front ends and maybe a set of tail lights with a fiberglass rear bumper should get you the look you want on the track and lighter than stock metal. couple of doors and lexan should get it done. i talked to A.M.D. a week ago and they said they have no intentions of producing front fenders because they did not make lots of these cars when new and i do not believe they have a fastback roof made but do have rear fenders or skins are available. do not be afraid of doing a roof and pillars. its just body work. if you have restored bent unavailable metal before then a roof should not scare you either. its a race car not a street or show car. i was lucky to find up here a 69 that was stripped to save another but i will build a street driven one with what i have. yes it will cost me dearly but i am the type of guy that finds a floor from another car and install's it. weld the brackets where needed for a seat and cover it with carpet or not. who will ever know or care. i have seen a 426 hemi in a old honda civic with the guy sitting in the back seat on the track. do you think there are restoration sheet metal for early Honda's? he made it work and the outside looked stock. yes he put hours in it but it was only his time after work till it was done and you can watch his grin every time he pass's you by sitting in the stands. i lived in the states for 5 years and seen what people consider junk and throw away and my neck hairs go up every time and wish i could save one of them. i agree that it is not worth a total restoration or to flip it because you will not get your money back but as you said , it's going to be a race/track car so it can be a cheap thrill to save its look. even this chevy , ford and A.M.C. NUT loves the look of this body style. have fun deciding after making a real list of what you really need and expect from one of these rust bucket's.
