Lucky you, California seems to be the best place to still find cars.

Look like you got a great deal on a CA car with no body issues. Good luck with your modifications.

Wow, looks like nothing but typical West coast desert dirt on the frame, rust free?

Thanks Guys - I got the frame, core support, front inner fender wells and front lower A arms back from the blaster last week - going to start modifying the frame this week - frame had nothing more than surface rust - real solid - going to modify it for the mini tub kit and box in the front section - I'll post pictures as I have time
ghg - won't be selling any side moldings - sorry - I will post up pictures of them when they are done at the chrome shop though!!

Got the frame done with the exception of the gas lines and brake lines - got 95% of the chrome back from the chrome shop - got the stainless back from the stainless shop - waiting on the engine and then I can mock up the rest of the rolling frame All the modifications are done on the body and we are getting ready to undercoat it before setting back on the frame - progressing along pretty good in light of everything going on!! Try to get some pictures up soon
