[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4256499, member: 3099"] Just from what I can tell from your pics, if there was ever a candidate for a frame off resto, this car would definitely be in the club. I'm thinking of the completeness of original parts, lack of cancer rust and general straightness of the metal here. Hopefully the inner parts of all the panels still have paint coating to protect, but I'd want to get that "patina" slowed down. Your clear coat plan would go a long ways towards that if the inner surface isn't doing the same thing. But dust/dirt absorbs moisture and nature does what nature does, so I got my doubts. What does the underside and floor panels look like? But it's still a heckuva find in that condition. It's even a 2 door! :faint: [/QUOTE]
