it was a real cool strip job. kind of like an archelogical dig. notice, no side marker lights. all the fenders were, replaced at one time, except one rear corner, and the replacements had to had the marker light holes filled in. There was even the body/chassis work near the battery area, where supposedly a IMSA race car during a recovery of another driver from a wreck, crashed into the rear of the "holbert" car (thats once) . for sure it was a rescue recovery car, it had the big 2' diameter hole in the roof for the christmas tree light tower power cables. one thing i havent done is take off the mirrors off the original doors (im using the doors and rear hatch off my 84) maybe more of the WR setting car red paint in its past will show up.
dont forget the maroon interior.

As soon as I find the power cable for my scanner, I'll post it.
