thank you again, this weekend my father and i along with couple buddies are going to take the car to my fathers shop on the delaware shore to tackle some of these issues. Hopefully we get them resolved and without finding new worse problems after we get her fully road worthy, i plan to start repairing the body, and if that becomes over my head, i guess off to a reputable body shop.... like i said originally, i dont plan on making this car a complete resto, but making it a sharp looking, great driving classic to turn heads when i take it out on the town.
