Welcome to the boards.
You sure have your work cut out for you. If it is a documented Judge I would NOT do a body swap. Get the body off the frame and strip it down. Do the repairs, (hope you have a Mig welder), and do it right. All the parts are available. My 70 was not nearly in that bad of shape and I have over $20K invested in the restoration. So if your budget can handle it, go for it. Don |

Welcome, Don't rebody. You need to find a mint rust free donor car. It is really tough to find sheet metal for a 69. The repro sheet metal is junk and really gives poor end results unless reworked heavily. Find a rust free 69 GTO or even a lemans and let the metal transfer begin. Good luck

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
