Body Work        
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.
