everything but the hood is original to the car. ice pick doors and all. hoping it will be ready for my permanent command. beam is narrowed 6 inches, with the bottom adjuster re indexed toward the top to avoid smashing it. swapping in a 62 tunnel trans and a dual port of some kind. got alot to do before i think about engines. budets etc haha :lol: anyways, looking forward to the input you guys have, need all the motivation i can get to get it back on the road again

YOu could try hosting your pictures through a website like Photobucket. Just never move them if you post a picture from there, or your pictures will not work on the forum.

800X600 Max size.

Looks like a fun project. Solid parts for a solid start. Pan looks great. Do the channels need some work?

thankfully the heaters are solid, but the quarter panel needs some work about 2 inches high on the driver side replaced and the passenger side is maybe savable. idk im not a body guy. the front has been tapped but the fender and hood still fit fine, so maybe later down the road some day i will replace the front clip. the rear end used to be there but the guy who was going to send it to the crusher cut it at the middle of the bumper support panel? the dash is uncut etc.
