Pics or didn't happen.

How good is the paint? If you part it out I may be interested in silver body panels
from the front clip.

No way am I parting her, body is too nice. Gonna toss in a rebuilt 12a and might sell or daily driver her. Motor was pulled due to smoking badly. If I did not have a rebuilt 85 12a already I would probably go 13b with a side draft. Pics soon to come as I have not even unloaded her yet.

pics.
Not perfect but a clean shell that can be turned into something easy. Car was bought in AL and lived in AL until now. Has Tokico blues, MSD 6a box and a dent that looks to be an easy fix.
Toss in my 12a rebuilt motor, and freshen up the waffles (tim) and should be a nice daily.
