I understand. My car started off in pieces so I understand what you are into.
BTW - I know someone who does glass work and can fix any birdcage problems. Are you going to drive out to Sac to pick it up? Or shipping it another way or already moved out? I can get you in contact with him if you do plan on coming out. Let me know!
At least there is no fire.

I already got it shipped out to me. I will be doing all the repairs, going to use a new front clip, a guy can spend forever trying to patch it back together and will never really be happy with it so that is the route I will go with it . I will also be leaving the flairs, I love them, just need to be low and have more modern wheel and tire

What condition is the frame in, accident wise? If possible, it would be great to see some pictures as you begin to disassemble it and the extent of damage (or lack thereof) is revealed.
Good luck with the project... GUSTO

I will remove the body completely , then do all the frame work on a frame rack so it will be dead on . if I didn't tell anyone that I did it they would never know, a lot of these cars have been in some sort of accident in there life, very rare to find one that hasn't , and if it is repaired right it will be as good as new or better. problem is there is a lot that don't do it right and it gives them all a bead name.

I'm sure everyone has seen this before. Fortunately, I think most of it will buff out.

I've seen plenty of really wrecked Corvettes but never a Ferrari that neglected and rusty.
