Allways wanted a 1st gen, This was a Ebay find.. might look like crap to most but it was unmolested (meaning it was all there and had not been hacked up over the years). the 327runs very well and the powerglide still shifts.
Did I say its rusty .. but the trunk floor, subframe and rear frame rails are near perfect.
UPDATE after tear down I found that both rear frame rails are kinked bad enuff that they need to be replaced .. after much debate .. I'm replacing them with Comp. Engineering pre formed box rails.
2 weeks after I bought the car, I ordered allmost every peice of sheet metal
roof skin and brace kit
both quarters with drop offs
shock tower panels
outer wheel house
whole front clip with cowl hood
deck lid, deck panel and speaker shelf panel
tail panel with brace
I hope to have all the sheetmetal work done this winter .. if work at the shop ever slows down.
This project will be based on Pro-touring.
327 2barrel powerglide
bucket seats
delux seat belts
Console
Shaved bumpers
shaved emblems
cowl hood
Hot Hues Gunmetal pearl
The white Zr1 wheels seen in the pics where just because the 1973 sears tires where rotted and the car drove like crap.
Covans dash
black interior with upper and lower dash Gunmetal pearl

I feel your pain, but you'll be saving a classic, and it will be worth it all in the end.
What a shame people let these cars go to crap. You definitely have your work cut out for you. Can't wait to see her when she's done.
Looks like a great project, best of look to ya, I am still working on my 67, check it out.
