Ok, we last left off with me finding some more of that fun rust. Basically there was nothing to salvage out of the frame and body from this car. I gave Brian a call at http://gbodyparts.com/. I have dealt with him before getting some of those hard to find parts and some performance parts and he’s always been awesome.

I tell him the situation, and he lets me know it just so happens he’s getting a 1986 T Type rolling chassis (no engine or trans), it’s in great shape, and is a T TOP. I wanted a body with t tops again, because I love them, but they are sometimes hard to find. So, I end up buying the whole works for about $1200. Everything was looking sweet. However…

So, I pay for the car, and set up a shipping company to send the car from Ohio to Illinois. And I wait. And wait. I call the company, and they let me know they would be picking the car up the following week, which was 3 weeks after I set it up. I let Brian know, he says cool, and I wait for it to show up.

Brian calls me the following week, and says they never showed up. So, I call the shippers back, they say they had some problems with the truck, yada yada yada, make a long story short, I get the car 6 weeks after I bought it, and will continue this later.
