Funny the body guys thought it was actually chicken wire and were going to throw it out.

Got the car stripped and blasted, frame is stripped and going in soon as well. Interesting found the vin stamped on the firewall and on the passenger cowl about 6” away from the one on the firewall. They stamp them anywhere else? Is the frame usually stamped aswell?

Got a pile of pictures and a bunch more question for the experts on what’s possibly original or has been replaced. I’ll go through my pictures and post them up later.

First though I need to get all my parts order to get the chassis ready when it get back. What are the things that should be replaced (safety wise) vs keeping things original??

The front to back fuel and brake lines? Shock will be changed but do you go with the original style or something that preforms better? Springs? Who had the best complete front end kit? Still has the original style ball joints is it worth trying to replicate them?
