Mark the group buy king, dropped his car off last week. I will get a good run at it next week, but for now I will post the beginning pics. I pulled his tank to take to the refinishers and OHHHH BOY what 20 years does to gas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) More pics to come next week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Since there seems to be very little rust to deal with it will allow me to spend more time than usual on the body and paint work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Not sure about the fender vin. It appears to have been filled over with bondo maybe, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) but I really don't know if the early cars were stamped there or not. George, Andy, Clay ????????????

And yes both sway bars are add ons.

yes all stamped. Wire brushing away the paint on top of the right front fender well should reveal all. I am sure that it will be 47129 or 47029. Then with the complete serial number call the cops and see if it was stolen years and years ago just for kicks.
