Basically, the only parts I'm missing (aside from the frame section and firewall/floor) is the hood, seat, gas tank and inner fenders.
It's a rough start for some, but I can work with it. I'll feel pretty good once she's a driver again, because her future looked pretty bleak until I found her.
I wonder what her past was, she's definitely an old hot rod, not sure what rear is in it, and the center x-frame was torched out by a previous rodder.

Nice score. I'd go the gasser route myself. I have always liked those things.

Breaking news; this just in: I don't like you very much from here on out. Nice score! I'd restore it all the way back to stock, take a day or two off to admire my (your) handiwork, and then rip it apart and make a Hemi-powered rod out of it. Is the 40 one of the years that will readily take a Dakota chassis?

Congrats! Ron guessed a Dodge, but is it a Plymouth? Oh, I see the grille now. Oops! I've got a plymouth parts car. The frame is clipped though. They narrowed a Camaro stub. I would not go that way. Here are some Plymouths. I haven't been collecting Dodges, sorry.
