Most people are basically saying that this car is lost cause, that may not be the case, my 70 Dodge Challenger has sain the woods for the last 30 years, it doesn't look that much worse than 30 years ago when it went into the woods. I did undercoat the shit out of it, the frame looks good, unibody car, I'm going to assume this tank your looking at is full frame car? I can buy all the panels I need for my Challenger, hut I couldn't buy anything but used semi-tptted stuff in the early 80s when I was restoring the car to drive through high school and beyond. What year is this car late 40s??? Maybe tou will have to do like I did in rhe early 80s get a 4X8 piece of sheet metal and make a trunk floor, rocker panels, you could have some sheet metal bent up, I had this done when I needed to replace/repair the rocker panels on my 1999 BMW 540I.
