First attempt of bring the front
sheet metal into shape. |

Too far gone. Between the front end damage and
the rust, there has to be some major work done. (5/31/16) |

In prepping the front of the car with new
sheet metal, accommodations for air conditioning needed to be made.
Louvers from an early model deck lid are used to create air inlet to the
truck area where a power condenser will be used with the air exiting the
truck through the floor. (Sep 2016) |
