Cool build Tom with a lot of history!
Ironically, I found this image on the H.A.M.B. a couple of days ago!

WOW ,thats a great picture !
The remnants of those big tow bar plates are still on the car !

here's a few pics of the front inners and firewall replacement .the OE radiator support with the vin was straightened out and kept in place.
The inner fenders and firewall came from a junk donor car Alex had .
The firewall had been seriously "worked |" for clearance besides the damage fro a trans/converter explosion so it was seamed in at the fender wall attaching points.

Here are a few more update pics if the resurrection process . car is now awaiting the engine and transmission .
Lots of work reversing the frame and tubs back to original.
A whole lot of scrubbing ,clay bar rubbing and Dupont number 7 brought back the shine to the original paint.
