Looks pretty straight! You didn't get hurt on that at all for that price!

Thanks. I like the car a lot, even in it's current state lol
But Today, i hope to get the nose put back on, and seats took out, maybe a few other things too. Aside from that, i think it's ready to be put together

Well, the nose didn't get put back on due to lack of nuts/bolts. He said every nut and bolt off the car was in a box in the trunk, but when i looked, couldn't find any of the fender bolts or anything i needed for the front...
But, I got the B&M shifter out, and got the seats out and managed to find a few dollars in change, a ton of various screws, and a big ass crescent wrench. Passenger side floor pan has some surface rust, i did a little knocking on it, it sounds the same on both sides, so i THINK it's just surface rust from not having any carpet in and moisture etc. I'll probably sand this lightly and hit it with a coat or 2 of Rustoleum. But for now, I'm stuck at finding the bumper and fender hardware, i think 5.0 Resto sells them, but i will check.. Here are the shifter pics for those interested and new pics of the car and stuff..

Well, i got the computer and engine harness pulled out today, and traced down some more hacked wiring.
Looks like the car is in for a total re-wire. A guy off of Corral in jasper has been talking to me a lot, and is probably gonna come up and help out with the wiring and everything else, along with another buddy of mine. I've decided it's going to be Carbureted, but i have yet to decide on a 302 or 351.
