And here is the car,After getting it cleaned out the trunk area is the worst,the floors are solid frame is solid.Car has almost every new part i original gm boxes put away.Complete interior,new doors,weatherstrip,etc....Im ordering new quarter both fenders,trunk lid,trunk panels and supports,rear valance to get started.Ill fit all sheetmetal then take it completely down to frame and get started on the rebuilding.I hope to learn alot on here first chevelle im doing.But not the first chevy for sure.

Sure does look like a lot of work in that trunk area. Atleast another one will survive and come back to life.:thumbsup:
