Yes it will be full show quality plus im adding a few more horsies under the decklid and its going on a diet. As much fiberglass as possible. I will have mint early german fenders for sale, a mint 4 tab early hood, a mint early decklid, and such. The car itself needs no metal work for rust, it just has a small issue on the drivers front quarter that needs some professional straightening

If you're looking for show quality you ain't gonna be happy with the floorpan I have for you.  It'll do cause it ain't rusty but the pan half replacement wasn't done well.

I found the car somewhat locally, it is in Wa state, i has all the pieces just taken apart which is great for me so i can inspect everything. I have paint from another project that i may use but im thinking iceland green exterior witha chocolate sunroof cover and chocolate brown powdercoated pan and cage. Im hoping for the spring, i just have to find a good metal guy to fix a bad section on the front quarter and then a painter
