best of luck. Might want to be sure that aftermarket roof install hasn't lead to long term, terminal rust damage lower in the car (like, how does it drain water??)
Engine block looks sweet. Don't be afraid to pull the motor and walk away. A LOT of solid(-er) chassis out there looking for a motor - cheap!

Hey Thanks for the input. Yeah, I might be taping some drain tubes, since this setup does not have any .
If it gets bad enough, I may just have my buddy and I do some "body mods" and seal it up and attack any rust issues it may have. I hope it does not come to that, but since I am into the car pretty good, I may as well buckle down and have some fun right? lol.

Hey Thanks much! yes I was quite surprised when I first looked at it. The previous owner is truly is an artist when it comes to his engine/mechanical work as well as his aesthetic work
