Just picked this one up, needs a little work LOL!

Plans are for a OEM look on the outside and interior, with a LS/4L60E for motor-vation.

Well I got all the junk out of the trunk, I wonder if there is some holy grail type part in this pile of crap LOL.

Some parts are most definitely not from this car, like the 430-4 air cleaner.

Image


At least I found the trunk unlocking bar lol.

Image


And an AMC radio,

Image


Image


Image


After all that and one entire 45 galloon drum of garbage, the trunk floor doesn't look too bad.

Image


Image


Worst section of the trunk lid.

Image


Image


Image


One little spot at the rear to sort out.

Image


Image


Somebody went **** crazy with a few red rattle cans lol.

Image


I'm sure then when I get the trunk and floors sandblasted it will get a whole lot more religious :biggrin:

Those old trunks were monsters compared to what cars have today.
Looks like a pretty solid car all in all and with what you have planned for it, should be real sweet when done.
