lets see the roughest car you started with

i pulled one of these bodies out of the woods!, if you need some original trim, door hinges, and a rear quarter window trim I GOT IT!:D

Thanks for the offer,but I eliminated the Quarter Windows when I built my Convertible Sedan Vicky,makes ya wonder how many of these old Freasures are still laying around out in the woods

Wow Mike thats a cool car, did everything i could to hold onto a few of mine but raising a family and college tuition became primary!
 
Here is a picture after I got the bottom 6" or of metal made up. I would say I replaced it, but that would lead you to think there was something there to start with.

If you follow the link to my website and you will see more of what the car looked like. Keep in mind before I started this car I really had never seen a 68C up close.

The second picture is the current state. Missing engine, glass, electrical, top, and interior. I am accepting cash donations :)

Here is the 29 open cab pickup I started with. It was hot rodded by my wife's uncle back in the 1960's. I dug it out a few years back and decided to go go back original.
