here are some pics of the vehicle after all the crap was peeled off and the work started.

the fenders / wings are a little smashed but are not torne or rusted through, so should be easy to have rolled out.

here after everything was taken off that could fit in my suit case and the metal painted with a heavy rust stop primer. as you can see nearly all the metal is there and good for rebuild or pattern.

the diff, trans, drive shaft all work.

the motor still has oil in it and still has all the parts present (gen, starter, exhaust, etc....)

and best of all the steering still works.

by the way I STILL NEED A SET OF 16 INCH RIMS, thanks

The rear axles are pretty bomb proof .... One of mine has a bent front axle 'I' beam , looks like it hit something in a hurry .


The motor has poured big end bearings with shims a la the 216 Chev, .. a pain to recondition if you have to.
