    I'd actually shoot for something a little better, if you're new to metal work. But I'd give you $100 for it so I could hang it on the wall in the shop!

    haha

    You could probably keep the quarters and mate them to a roadster cowl, narrow the rear pan and run it that way. I have an extra roadster cowl if you end up needing one?

    Looks like typical "Michigan Rust" here...anything is fixable. Find some doors, (or fill them in); cut the top...endless possibilities...I say, go for it! If nothing else, you have some patterns to work with. That ain't that bad!

    A little bondo (alot of bondo) and a little paint (alot of paint) it'll be better than new ;)

    ah, i think we'd all have drug it home!! man, i like these unchoped, but the radster look is sweet too. looks like you got a few good panels. all in all, a good find, or sell it and build up more money for what you really want. you say you drug it out of the woods, so i'm ***uming it was free. anything is 100% profit then. dont get too discouraged, i've seen worse!
