KNOWING THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. nbsp;A HEMI WAS IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE BEEN A BODY TECH FOR OVER 45 YEARS. BODY CONDITION ON THE CAR WAS NOT REAL BAD. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH 1/4 PANELS AND RT AND LEFT DROP DOWN PANELS.  I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE FRONT FLOOR SECTIONS AT THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S FEET. THE LEFT FRONT APRON DID HAVE SOME MINOR BATTERY ACID DAMAGE AND WAS REPAIRED. THE REST OF THE BODY WAS SOLID AND HAD NO OTHER RUST. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT THE TRUNK FLOOR AND UNIBODY RAILS WERE SOLID AND REQUIRED ONLY VERY MINOR CLEAN UP. THE CAR WAS INSTALLED ONTO A ROTISSERIE AND THE REPAIRS BEGAN. I HAVE REMOVED EVERY NUT AND BOLT FROM THIS CAR. SOME ATTACHED HARDWARE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW BUT I DID CLEAN UP AND REUSE SOME ITEMS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
