Thanks for all the support & suggestions. It definitely looks like I’m in the right place to help me get this old girl back where she should be. Here are all my soon to be “before” pictures. I already took the “diy” air cleaner off & put on a Holley. Today’s schedule is replace both motor mounts, so I can take off those super safe chains that are holding the motor in right now, and correct exhaust manifold gaskets. It leaks like crazy with whatever gaskets he put on. There is a few more pics of the hood & the damage. I’m not a body guy, but it’s full of spray foam & im assuming bondo, the trim pieces aren’t uniform and now it’s damaged. I like the look, just wondering if it’s worth the trouble, or should I cut my losses & replace it.
