    As bad as it looks I'll bet it will make a comback. Someone with some serious talent will take up the challenge and you'll see it in some magazine. I can see it now something like "And they said it couldn't be saved". Choprods, Metalshapes, got any spare time?

    A friend of mine did up a 32 3 window a few years ago for a guy that was slammed hard in the rear.
    It was rear ended by a truck wayyyy back in the 50's and left to die.
    I saw pics of it when he started..

    The whole back of the car was where the seat back was, and the roof was bent about a foot up from where it was supposed to be..
    Long story short, he rebuilt it..
    And did one hell of a job on it!
    The car has actually been in magazines since it's rebirth..
    Silver, full fendered, chopped, red gut, running a 502 and sprints..
    I would have NEVER thought this car could be put back together...
    Boy was i wrong!

    This one looks a little worse because the roof is stuffed down, but the amount of work would probably be close.

    This is what I started out with on my 36. It was the only way I could afford to do a three window. But you know what they say. More time than money. If I get off my *** today I'll post some pics of how its coming along.

    Couple days with a bump hammer and dolly and she'd be right back on track. Seriously if it was rare enough or you wanted it bad enough that car could be saved. I saw a 36 sedan delivery that had less going for it than that end up being a jaw dropper in the hands of a very skilled artist, and it took less than a year.
     
  12. Like my boss says, "I would rather work with bent and dented material that hasnt been "repaired" than to try and bring back rusty screendoors!"

    We have fixed worse at A&A, I would love to see that get fixed in our shop.
