will do. im not sure what all she wants done it was her husbands deal then he died so im not sure if im just fixing the rust and painting/blending or doin all the body work and painting it all. the only rust is on the hood the rest is clean and pretty straight its got an inline 6 manal trans but i do not know what either of them are.

i believe options were a 216 and a 235, with 216 being garbage. on the 216 the rocker cover on the side goes all the way to the valve cover

Send them to photobucket, copy the "IMG" code and paste the code directly into the message body, pics appear like magic.
