A Man with balls!......98%+ of us would have either passed on buying that or parted it out. It just goes to show us all that if a "Man made it a Man can fix it" I guess that makes you The Man! I get tired of hearing guys cry about a little rust or missing parts on project cars. The big surge in scrap prices last year really hacked away at old cars all over the country.....Parts cars are becoming project cars now. I think you'll see more and more parts car being fixed now especially with the parts that are being made. Excellent work and Keep us posted!!

He may have kind of screwed me on some details like saying he had a clear title. Not exactly. It wasn't in his name and it wasn't signed by the previous owner. Something I'll have to deal with. I found the last owner at the same address since 1982 so I'll see if I can't work out a deal with him to have him do some paperwork for me.


It would scare me a bit to put all the time and money into the car and not have the title in my name. Do yourself a favor and get the title put in your name ASAP, especially if the seller has a bad rep. Once again good luck to you!

Awesome project! I love the in depth sheetmetal repair projects. Im sure you will show everyone who gave ya crap something else. People are always amazed at these projects and if you get any negative comments dont worry about them, normally its someone who is unable to do the work! Ill be staying tuned

Thanks for the words of encouragement, I'm having fun and the laughter is slowing down a bit. I don't believe the friends and family can quite see a finished product yet but soon I'll be blocking and should make a big difference.
Stay tuned, lots more pics coming as I'm further along that what it seems.

OK, got some from the rear frame rails where apparently some did some clearancing with a big heavy thing presumably for the air shocks to fit. The black stuff is POR15.

Go Man Go

I know how it feels. When I drug my RoadRunner home it was a striped rusted shell and no one could under stand why I was waisting my time on it. Now when some one stops to ask if its for sale (if I leave it in the driveway for more than a few hours) my wife says not a chance in hell!
Pleas keep the pic's coming

OK, I spent last night removing the roof so I didn't get time to post more but now that the bleeding has stopped, here ya go. (I'll post the roof pics later)
This is a rusty spot at the firewall to floorpan on the passenger side that needed patched.

I can't find the pics of the patch I made or the welding process but this is how it came out.

I sure hope the POR15 is as good as they say. It seems pretty tuff.
