My son helped with Josh with giving it a tune up, dumping 20lbs of emmision crap and minor engine bay clean up saturday. Would of got more done but the weather sucked.

Has minor rot on some floor and the lower corners have minor bubbling. Inside the the fenders are solid from what we see so far.

The car is far from mint but is a decent looker now.

Next plan is replace all weather strips and start with interior. Front seats need to be re done or replaced. Needs head liner,sail panels and center console. That will make the interior mint.

Thanks. So far we fixed all the gauges. Ordered the weather strip kit headliner and misc interior screws.
Next will be solid body mounts and weld in subframe connectors.

He's a one-man show Eric but does real nice work. Get a quote and remember that you usually get what you pay for.

I'm guessing that Don's going beyond a nice driver build. LOL.

It won't be mint but the track is reliable, drive anywhere type of setup.

After driving it a few days- solid body mounts and subframes just went to the top of the list. LOL

I love those cars with modern 18" version of the factory wheels.

Yeah what is a good option for body mounts on those? I tore mine out the 78 and replaced them with new rubber way back. But is solid the way to go or do they have poly?
