I went rogue...
My plan for this is to simply make it a reliable driver/parts chaser/wife's grocery getter during the summer. I still have my dirt late model project I need to finish.
If I go back to work soon my PT $$$ may give me enough so my friend who does body work can help me get the body off the chassis and install some new pans and fix those heater channels. Really only minor rust repair in the wheel houses... mostly surface rust. Then it will be done.
