    Fun with hubcaps,tire sizes and the gutting of the interior & trunk.Although you see rusty floors they are solid(got out that old insulation & house carpet just in time)trunk is very good and the car seems to sit alot higher now that I've removed all the junk out of it:hmmm: I bet all that carpet & padding weighs about 200lbs,there was an A/C compressor(w/brackets),2 toolboxes full of nuts & bolts & junk,2 6x9 speaker boxes,set of old brake shoes and plenty of other junk throughout the trunk & floors.Next up on the ax list is the locked up 6!302 coming soon...:D

    Yes Chandler,it's the one I told you about.Think I'm gonna leave the crash bumpers on it,since it'll be a driver they may save it in minor crashes.
