Hey guy, that is quiet the car. I would of taken that on, earlier in my life. I wonder what the old custom body man's name who started it was??? LOL I don't know what year it is, but if you don't have a set of T-tops for it I would donate a set of 78 tops, you pay the freight. they are repairable, but I would find a better set. They will keep the rain out while you get started.. Your partner in the form, Please keep us undated, I want to watch this grow. Have a great one. Gene

That looks like a fun project. The hard work (the body mods) are done. I really like those Mako body mods.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

Somemore info on the car, 1970 350/350 HP 4 speed car. It is a low
mileage(53,000 Miles),rust free car and the motor does match. The car has been stored
inside since at least 1984.The guy I got the car from bought it in 1984 as a
project, pretty much the way it is seen in the pictures, so the kit is from the late 70's or early 80's. I would like to return it to the original body configuration
