'68 Bcuda "NASTY NICK"

Are you thinking of restoring it? Would be nice to see it run, the biggest hurdle you will have to jump will be getting the cage passed. I would think it would be easier to cut it out and put in a new chrome moly one.
I know I know purists will give me a hard time but if the cage doesn't pass tech you won't be racing.
As far as the body goes you could probably tape off the stripes and give it a scuff and repaint, depends on what your plans are.

Just remember that if you plan on racing it you should update all the parts for safety reasons.
