lol total bs site :) and dot "in"...

Some of these sites are "ebay" flippers... they offer the ebay item for 100% or 200% the cost of ebay. Scammers abound...

yeah rockauto or amazon... I have KYB's on my 57 dodge... work great.

we need pics :) these cars are usually tons of welding. Also if not going totally orig, its not that bad.

it boggles my mind... I certainly had rose colored glasses on thinking I could EVER repair this car... Lol... Find a donor if you can :) the amount of work saved is astounding...

tank has to be grounded...thats first

I think Pilkington might have a few left, they have closed their classic car division.. But they have some lingering stock left.

almost gone... I now know how these cars were fully assembled... the quarter panels were built separately depending on the doors. Floors were the same but the rear deck panels are differnt, trunk floors the same, the outer skins the same, but the inner is different, and the wheel housings were...

Dang that was quick... Yeah 1600$ for paint... lol they are just hooking suckers and thats basically an insurance scam... Like a lot of businesses... buy up the competition and/or corner the market, control the market, lock people in somehow, then start turning the screws on anyone you can...

this thing is brutal... it's held together by dirt.

Lol i cant believe i was even thinking about trying to "weld" this back up... I knew it was bad but never really assessed the state of the vehicle... basically i would have rewelded the whole car. I am way over cutting to be careful not toss anything i might need. I will need to drill holes in...

My original car was horrible... I didn't even really need to cut it, it practically fell apart... I have no idea how the rockers could be essentially gone... The previous owner had repaired the passenger inner and outer and it was pretty much a fail. I saved SOOO much time... Now i dont have to...

Cutting the donor roof off the rusty original 2dr ht Belvedere... Obtained a nearly rust free 2 door post body from John @ Big M... Chopping up the rest of the body today. The seller actually got one rocker and quarter panel done... but was in serious trouble as there were no real floor pans...

looks like the roof is choopped...

Yeah confirmed Collectors Auto supply sells "window" seals for example... for 75.87$ plus shipping. Those same seals are 41.99$ on rockauto... So they ebay link and rockauto link with huge markups :) Suckers are born everyday. These are chinese parts but I love how they say "we work with USA...

Is this so he can get an idea of whats involved? These guys dont typically have any sheet metal left. I believe Collectors Auto Parts is just a drop shipper of Lens parts... oh they are just skimmers... not actually selling anything. They used to take Lens parts numbers and mark them up 40%...

Could you patch that roof? with the good sections? That seems easier than doing the whole roof, unless every edge needs swapped.

nah people have done this honestly not that hard. I will secure and brace and even "tension" the body. before I cut the 2 door sedan. And as long as roof goes where its supposed to... it cant be twisted or warped. That back window panel is the worst of it, front is very easy. 2 door sedan is...

I have a 2 door sedan body shell nearly unrusted and I am putting my roof on it.

You can get someone like Chrome58 to look at the state of the car. I have rebuilt a couple Fwl cars so i know what to look for also. Nuts and bolts don't bother me unless you want a OEM factory perfect restore, heck i use stainless bolts on mine. But you would need to take pics of whats in...
