Hmmm... GOT IT! True barn find! The P.O. saved the car from a wrecking yard where it sat for 10 years. Then it sat in his pole barn for 10 years.

I'm having trouble with the file size.
My pics are 640X480. The message is saying I can't excced 2000 something.. I'm not a computer guy.. But I'll keep working on it.
This photo shows the repairs to the rockers and QP's. At some time in the cars life the curves were removed with a torch. I made a radius gauge as a guide.

Here's one... I needed to repair both front and rear QP arches as well as the rocker panels. The graceful curves were torched off.

Ok in the first pic, we have a green roller which I must assume is the barn find. Tell us about the nice red one as well.
Man, must be nice to have those body skills.
