Well after spending a TON on shipping charges to get this car to me from Florida I now come to realize buying a car unseen in person on ebay is not a good idea. The car was claimed to be rust free from the way he decribed it but it wasn't so. I now have a more difficult chore ahead of me and if I can't do it myself body work charges and new quarters could cost a fortune.? Holes found along the drip line on both sides concern me the most though!
My main focus is to get the body work done (most likely painted also) and then work on getting the interior done. The car does run with it's original 67,000 mile 289-2v but the points are bad and need to be changed so it misses some. I am at some point going to be changing the motor to something with more cubic inches but at this time I have no idea which motor I will go with. It might be a 351CJ, 390, 428 or a stroked small block windsor.
I'll update some more as I go but it is now winter here and the wife's van takes most of the garage so I don't have much room to work on it plus it is a little cold in the garage..lol, When spring time comes the garage is all mine though. :p
The person who sprayed primer on the car got it
ALL OVER the place and getting this primer off the windows and chrome trim could be a chore.
These small rust holes under the drip line
ON BOTH SIDES concern me, I hope it doesn't cost to much to fix this and I hope it can be done without to much work.
ARG!! Darn bondo on my so called rust free car.
Been thinking something like this for the final outcome.
