Re: Stinky Pete
the (very rotten) shell lives on, its so straight and never welded, so is a great datum point and measuring reference as you can see every spot weld etc
its too far gone to restore though, every major panel has rot, so it would just be uneconomic to do
if only the garage it had been stored in was nice and dry, it would have been a different story!

Re: Stinky Pete
Its a sign of the times when even Rich concedes that a shell is to far gone to be worth doing. I can howver confirm that it most certainly WAS!
