I dunno, the important panels are there and look fairly solid. I think it could be restored. I'd take on the project if I could get the car for $200 or less.

At this point it would be a great hot rod project...if the chassis work is solid you might as well throw in a modern injected four, six or eight cylinder engine...the damage is already done...

I don't know if you were thinking of me, but I'm gonna rat rod my bugeye while I sort it out mechanically. But I sure don't know what to think of a fairlady rat rod! LOLOL!
