        ended up cleaning it- 2 huge mouse nests, 1 mummified mouse, and god knows how many cigarette butts. Also found the original jack (in teh scrap metal pile), and why the temp gauge doesnt work (its not hooked up). Rear bumper is going to be rechromed soon, and underhood is pretty much at a standstill. i started cleaning, but some of the factory markings started to come off, so i stopped. as is, Its got quite the 70s vibe with the slot mags. Also got the trap door back on (PO removed it so he could haul 2x4s around)

              You have to be careful under the hood with cleaning products if you want to save the original decals, chalk marks and such. Car is looking really nice.

                      For now, it will be staying (almost) as is. He found a grande in a private yard he is going to try for- to get some interior trim, as well as teh steel wheels. he also is thinking of putting on a ram air hood as well.

                      and i found a few other pics of the barn i took-
