That's pretty wild. Lots of work to raise the fender lines as well... ALMOST doesn't look like a cartoon. There's a real chrome bumper project hiding in there for the determined restorer!!!

OK so it's a parts car. If offered the opportunity to drag it home simply for the effort of doing so I would definitely find a way to haul it out of there.

This is like looking at crime scene photos of a victim that was brutally beaten, raped, pillaged, then tossed in the woods and left for dead.
Sad to think some sick individual would do such a thing to that poor baby! I can almost hear her screams every time the sawzall or cutting torch was fired up!

Was thinking the tach and speedo look good as well! And possibly the doors - doesn't look like they altered those.
