well, i did not think i would start this project so soon, but was bored this morning, and decided that it was time.
i just bought this car from craigslist out of bangor pa. i talked to him on the phone, and he told me basically it was a rot bucket, and needed tons of work. he wanted to take and send pics, but i told him none were needed, as long as it was all number matching like he stated.
it was not just numbers matching, but this is a solid car.
( now, let me clarify what i mean by solid) i do not think a solid car that has any frame, inner fenders, rockers, roof rot. however, a car that has trunk, floor and quarter rot, can be a solid car.
this car to me is above solid. it has holes in driver side front floor, the trunk center is gone, and the lower quarters are gone from mid-point.
other than that, there is a awesome base for a build, and number correct to boot!. i paid 2,900.00 for it sight un-seen, and then fuel expence to go get it.
today i took the engine out, all trim and bumpers, grille,trans, and front seat out. i chose not to strip the car to a shell, as it does not need it.
i am going to build this back to original as possible.
here some pics to start.
