Looks like a very nice, high end build. Yes, anything can be restored but it doesn`t have to cost anywhere near that much. If you look at the restoration threads you can see some of us do a lot of our own work. I am restoring my road runner in my garage and plan to have less than $40k into it...
I saw it on FB. Worth it is up to the individual restoring it, I put way more time and money into my lowly `72 Barracuda than it will ever be worth money wise but it has sentimental value to me. Although it could be straightened with a lot of hours on a rack IMO it be easier to just re-body that...
Only issue is it was hit so might be out of whack, putting it on a frame rack to check the measurements before replacing the rail would probably be a good idea.
Edges are all welded up and ground. I had to add a bit of weld to fix the gap on the drivers side lip but otherwise happy with them. I now have to adjust the edges height wise as there are some low areas.
Still working on the trunk lid. I got it back together but when I hammered the lip back over a lot of it cracked along the edge. More hours or welding and grinding!
Very cool, I love seeing old photos when these cars were modified and driven on the street or dragged. I am trying to find previous owners of mine as I think it may have been drag raced at some point but so far no luck.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I`m working hard on my road runner dream hoping to have it painted and maybe cruising next year but we`ll see how that goes. :p
We are friends on FB and I have been watching your progress and racing. I love the stock and stock appearing type racing. My 383 is going to look pretty stock but is mildy built internally so at some point after I get it done it will hit the track to see what E.T. it will do.
Welcome, `75`s are cool ! Legendary Interiors is the big seat cover reproducer but I don`t see anything listed but you can try SMS as they have a lot of NOS material.
