I am looking to sell this, It is too much work for me and I dont have the time or the ability to complete it. The car is complete except that the intake is missing. It will need the floor replaced. The longs are reinforced with what looks like 1/4" steel plating and bows very little when put on the lift. At the very least it is pretty much complete and would be a great car to transfer all the parts to a better body if you dont want to fix it.
thanks for looking and thanks for everyones help and advice on it. I am going to save up and buy one that doesnt need this kind of work.
