Well, I have had a little time to organize my pictures and start going over the game plan on my new purchase. I couldn't be happier. Surprisingly, it is probably the roughest body I have bought in a long, long time. The good thing is that when I say that, it still means that it is a body out of Georgia, not out of Ohio. So the rough stuff is mostly up top. It does need lower quarters, lower sectoins of the extensions(doubtful I will replace the whole extension(s). It will need a couple patches in the trunk floor, at the top of the right quarter, in the drivers floor pan, under the battery tray, and probably about 20,0000 hours of blocking, sanding, and blocking and sanding again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shock.gif" alt="" />
My game plan: get the brakes done. Go through the steering/bushings/rear springs/shocks. New wheels and tires. Fuel system replacement is next. Go through the trans, new seals in the rear axle, maybe change the gear, find a driveshaft, a flywheel, put a clutch in it, and find a 383(JohnRR is on that one, and hopefully we can get together on it), a radiator, and then drive the he!! out of it! I will get the body done as time and money comes available, but I don't want to do a complete tear down to do it. Probably start at the back and drop the tank and send it somewhere (possibly where I bought it) and have the everything rearward of the door post strikers done and sealed.
Here are some pics. Enjoy!









I'll add more as I have time... Just an idea of what I am working with.
