Paul,
When I first saw it, I was certain it was lost - and don't be fooled, the pictures still look better than it really is. I was convinced that when I pulled out the doors and seats that were sitting in there that I would have a Fred Flintstone mobile! When I got it home and pulled everything out of it - it still took 2 hours to power wash everything out and off of it!
The passenger compartment will need multiple 3x3 & 6x6 sections patched in, or holes welded up - even then, there will be some filler to smooth things out a bit. Both sides of the cowl will need patches at the bottom & both quarters need a substantial amount of work to remedy hits on both sides, but luckily I've got clean quarters I can put on it (I think I'll only need the driver's side, the other can be messaged out.)
It is far better than a 67 Camaro convertible he has in the shop however - that guy will have twice as much work needed in his car - even the rockers are rotted out!
