This is a '27 body I discovered sticking up out of the weeds at the side of a rural business about 7 years ago. The previous owner was attempting to restore it to original and lost steam early on. It has rust-outs in all the usual spots; bun panels, lower cowl, lower doors and rockers. After haggling with him and finding that he had the doors, fenders, window frame, and turtle deck, I paid $1,500.00 and dragged it home. Some hillbilly-engineered, cobbled-together attempts at rust repairs to the doors have warped them to hell, the turtle deck was piss-poorly repaired, but reworkable, and the decklid is so full of bondo, it needs re-skinned.
