its staying a stocker right now because the owner is 68 years old and wants to re-plate the collector plates again.
Jeff, the motor is fine. just needs to be cleaned up and tuned up. yes, it just needs that back heater channel and maybe the rear corner of the pan.
Gerry, I hope everything goes well for you in surgery. If you know of another person that could take on the task, let me know.
The whole car won't be blasted, only the pan, inner fenders, lower body, basiclly all of the \"rusty areas\" of the car. the rest of the car is alright for now. We don't want to paint the whole car as the money isn't there, but we'll see how it goes. The paint isn't the worst so we'll try to buff it all out.
