Still has a long way to go. It's a original 340 car automatic,391 rear. The 340 is long gone (rod through the block I'm told), It has a 360 now. Original Plum crazy with a white stripe, black interior. The only reason I bought it was it came with a ton of parts. Two people before me were collecting stuff and never did anything. The car has been hit everywhere but not hard enough to bend anything. I have parts with chrysler order tags going all the way back to 1978. The car has 59,000 on the odometer but a real hard life. Very little rust so I decided to save it. This is my first A-body. I have had a bunch of E-body 'CUDA's but couldn't afford to do one now. I will keep the pictures coming as I go. The front suspension is in now and I'm working on the engine

Is that a full 1/4 on the left rear? New or used? Where did you get it from?

Thats why I bought this car. Both quarters are N.O.S and came with it. The right side was new but for a 72 I had to put the side marker light in. It also came with the drivers side door jam and 2 new trunk extensions. The only sheet meal I bought was the trunk floor spare tire piece.

I was too cheap to spend money on metal to make the frame. I used 2x6's drilled holes and bolted it where the bumper brackets go. The cross piece is a 5 1/4 piece of decking screwed to the front for support. the casters are off a walk behind mower and threw bolted into the 2x6. It worked great when there is nothing in the car. When I started putting the front suspension back together it was getting hard to move and creaking. This will only work with a shell don't try it with a complete car.
