Car is getting close to completion. So I will start adding early pics and then try and get to the current progress.

I'm guess your friends and family thought you were nuts for taking that car apart ?  Looks pretty decent as you bought it

It did look good. I totally understand though.

[Shane Kelley]

Yes. Everyone gave me so much crap over this. They couldn't see what I was seeing. It had to come apart to be built up correctly. This thing had so many water leaks when you got it wet. I look at it as saving the car.

Nice looking car!

So the car was wrecked pretty good in the front. Fenders were really jacked up in the headlight bucket area. I tried Goodmark fenders. Hated them. Did the AMD ones. Better but still didn't cut to my satisfaction. So I went a found a set of originals in great shape that wasn't for sale. Piled some nice parts and my old fenders in the truck and flashed a stack of cash and git it done. Actual cost ended up being about 4k for the pair. Rear got AMD quarters, filler panel and deck lid.  NOS rear body panel.
