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.
 
looks good so far,......they must have cut the fenders to put oversized tires on it.....was it a dragster? ; )

Shealey, you are to be commended for bringing one back from the grave.
 
I think we got the car the middle of may. This is only a small part of what I have on my plate. So, I think I have about 80 hrs in it so far. Lots to do yet. Stay tuned.

Shealey, any photos of the engine bay, are you still planning on putting Suzuki motor in it, and if so, what are you planning on using for a transmission?
 
Man, I just spent an hour on that site going through all the photos! Gotta go cut the grass before it gets too hot....

I did it in my garage. I used to have a collision and resto shop. Sold out about 12 years ago. I'm a multiline insurance claims rep now.
