I'll answer in Order...
Allots going on, I never liked the condition of the body. There were some dents and waves from the previous owners body work, the vinyl top is coming off and the color is changing, she’s going from a small block to a Big Block suspension and motor. Trannie is being upgraded (as a result of the big block) and rear end is changing...
Question 2, she's a 69 - It is hard to tell with the front clip off and no taillights to be seen
Statement 3, better check your eyes buddy, for a car this old, there is very little rust. With a metal car you have to use some filler to make her straight. Your getting too used to that Plastic. Unfortunate Metal does rust, but at least my car doesn't crack when it hits a guardrail :-P
And yes, i'm planning on being out in the spring
