Well he sent it up to me to go through it. It's been sitting for about 8 years in the garage.. prior to that it sat in the dirt but driven a few times a year...he is in now rush I just tell him I've been busy...

He restored it in 86.. but she needed a lot.. roof was rotted around windshield like all those old 67- 72 Chevys did...bottoms of doors were smoked.. floors, firewall... She took in a lot of new steel this go around...

It's all basically new, I'm about 17k into now not including what it took to get here...
