My decklid is actually good. I have a new frame for my hood. I have a boat guy in town that is great with fiberglass who is going to repair that.

Seems appropriate that a boat guy would be making that repair...
Outstanding work, and an inspirational project! Thanks for making the work ahead of me seem manageable!

I was wrong, he sold it a few months after you bought yours. He has so many cars laying around I can't keep track.

Ask him next time you see him if he still wants to sell it. I liked that car.

I'm sure he does. I'll see him tomorrow and I'll ask him what he'll take for it.

Thanks guys! I did snag a NOS dash plate yesterday as well. She is coming along. Once the metal work is done I'm going to rebuild the suspension and engine.
Wow you are getting after it. Great thread!

Dang, from the original pic, it didn't look like the Hurst was that bad. Are you swapping the stub frame as well?

Yes that is what we are doing. That is why when you buy a car you need to be careful. A prior owner in the past used a lot of filler, undercoating, etc. and as a result we didn't think it was this bad at the start either but in the end it was really bad off. The car was a Florida car originally and the salt air really harmed it in places you normally wouldn't find rust. Thankfully I had a really good donor car!
I know it is a ton of work but even though there are a fair amount of these that come up for sale, sadly not many ever get restored. I will be very proud of it when done as a lot of time will have gone into it. I don't plan on selling it so I don't care what I have into it. I want to use it for shows and some cross country road trips.
