Looks like you should up and rolling in no time!

Have you thought of eventually repainting the scheme that's on it?

Got more pics? Inside? Motor? etc.

no engine, im gunna have fish from dougs build me one once i get settled and get some extra funds to send his way

from what i was told it was a show car in the late 80s and has been sitting outside for a number of years

it was a decent interior, all the seats are there, just missing the deck lid and the roof is in REALLY REALLY bad shape above the rear seat area, the 1/8th inch thick bondo has cracked off exposing a very lumpy rusty roof

I know all about a lumpy roof. hard to get out too. I ended up grafting new material in instead of even trying to straighten anything.
