I wish you would have posted this here before you bought it because I would have told you the car is not much to look at.

Wow, not a stock panel left on the car.

Maybe you can find a donor body?

I don't know what your asking!Interesting story?
There is a GTSCA assn. and the car has a window sticker from them.
I know the body is a custom and was trying to see if someone out there might be able to identify the maker or builder. This vet sit in AZ from 1990 til a few months ago.
Just curious about its history and origin of change.
Thanks
