om617 Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Bought this pretty messed up with broken off front fender,broken c-pillars,and radiator and wiper panel in several pieces. The body i think was stepped on,or have been laying under somthing heavy,it was bent,also the hood,but did my best to try straigh out and fix it to become a acceptable dispaly model. After 4 months of on and off work it`s done. Here are some pictures,comments and constructive criticism is welcome.

John Goschke Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Great work saving that body and getting it straight and square. The finished product looks tremendous!Only quibble I might have is that the exhaust tips look out of scale in diameter.
