So I'm looking at possibly buying this car, it's about 3 hours away from me so I'm only seeing pictures of it right now.
These two pictures obviously make me cringe knowing that there's bound to be more rust behind the jack plates. But, I thought Id see what everyone else thought. Ben Attached image(s)

Hi Ben,
Can't really tell enough from those two pictures. You really have to see the HELLHOLE and the underside of the car. Just went through the same thing, Bought car from the heart, Top of hell hole had been repaired, but when I got into it, it was downright scary. If you have decent welding skills, and the car is a GOOD price, Restoration Design, sells all of the stuff you need. They are great to deal with! I would definitely take a personal look at it to evaluate, and then you can access the level of rust compared to your skill. GOOD LUCK!!! BTW, where in SC are you located, I am in NC about 40 minutes from Myrtle Beach. If you are close, perhaps we could meet, I hope to be driving mine sometime in the month of January 2010 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I would still have to get a hands on look at the car, before I could decide. The price seems a little high, if it does need structural work. Keep Us informed of your decision and GOOD Luck |
