1970 deluxe "kathy bates" burn victim

[blacktruck]

so there she is,I'm back from vacay at the grand canyon less than an hour and my boss asks if I still want this piece.
tail end burned to a crisp a day or two before I got back.the funniest part is it parks and "lives"in my hood.
For like three years I ask about it and it's all nine hundy and whatnot :lol: :lol: :lol:
She's rusty,the fire took out the swell bondo and tinfoil near the vents and corners :roll:
at least the frame and mechs look solid

was gonna get all zombiesquad with the flatblack spraybombs and grills etc
then she was parked outside my house while getting roadworthy and the stock(ish)look grew on me.
so a bit of an interior redux for certain :lol:

already put some headliner and visor love in,hm no pics(later tho)
got fresh proper tires and have been patching up the engine/cabin interface so as to
be able to hear and maybe build something back there

got plenty of little things to do for now tho(front signals,turn signal switch is mobile,holes in the floor,windows etc etc
:mrgreen:
this project makes me stupid happy
