Ahhh, "Rust never sleeps."

After taking a peek at the photos and the condition of the body and the missing pieces, unless you are Flop (see his posts) and really know what you are doing, I think the word Rat Rod comes to mind. You could be biting off more than you can chew!

Remember good judgment comes from bad experience . . . and most of that comes from bad judgment.

I started with even more with my first A, and regretted it in the end. I would have been a lot better off, and would have spent a lot less, starting with something more complete for a first effort. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, just passing along what I learned.

I dont see why everyone is trying to scare you off ... if you like sheetmetal work, a good challenge and you can get it for a good price ...have at it .

The problem isn't so much the sheet metal as the wood sills and body wood. Then there is the top and related cabriolet only parts. Did anybody mention the chrome window frames for the doors?
