Re: 1969 Trans Am
There was a 1969 TA alongside a body shop up my way up until a few years ago. It has been sitting there for years deteriorating. My neighbor stopped in to see if it was for sale (can we guess the answer?). Owner said a friend, relative or worker; I forget, drove it in with the intention of restoring it but, there it sat.
One day it was gone; could even be this car.

Re: 1969 Trans Am
I like cars with patina, but wow.... that's rough! How do you save a car like that? After you strip away all the rust, what's left to even weld new panels to? I guess you'd keep what's left of the firewall... fix it and add to it?

X2 What does it matter if you replace a fender / door / quarter because of some small holes or some large ones? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] I think you would find that once you cut off the typical replacement sheet metal that its not as bad as it looks. You might have to make a patch panel here or there, but if you enjoy that type of work then it's actually a fun project - and look what you can end up with! It will never be a Day 1 car, but with a replacement block etc... just drive it! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
