It has potential. What kind of restoration are you planning?
Floors need some tlc but I’m sure sheet metal is available.
Welcome to the classic car club. Where it costs a lot of $$$, but it’s a hell of a lot of fun. 
ughh, i wana pick something like this up and swap in a m52 with lotsa boost. this will be my next project as well.
the plan is ratrod for now while I get the rust repaired, body straight, etc
will probably end up something like
either way I figure I’m not gonna worry about keeping everything original since the car isnt exactly a rare or desirable model or anything… just something to have fun with
Cool. It takes lots of time and $$$ but worth it.
I wouldnt even know where to start… ugh. pauly… you have more faith than I.
Haha, very very bad-ass. Nice grab.
thanks
grabbed some seats today, 98 sedan deville
The pics definitely don’t do them justice, they’re really nice. They obviously need some cleaning up & tlc, but the rear straightened right out from being bent like that.
I think I’m probably going to remove the front headrests to give that old school shorty bucket look. Either way they should look pretty badass in the chevy. I found some plain blank steelies w whitewalls too, going to pick them up in the am
Also finally heard back from the transporter while I was at the boneyard, the car is scheduled to be picked up this wed and delivered next wed
I wouldn’t invest too much in this until you see the body up close and know how much sheet metal you have to work with.
It looks like most if not all of the floor needs replacing. the frame doesn’t look completely solid either. The outer shell looks good though.
^^ sounds like quitter talk to me ;p
the po sent me a ton of hi-res pics. I’ve seen pretty much every inch of the car so I’m not too worried. Whatever is rotted out will get welded up, not a huge deal. Floorboards are easy enough to fix and I can always put the body on a different frame. I’m almost leaning that way anyways, would make it alot easier to swap to disc brakes and better suspension
at this point the car and transport are both paid for so I’m pretty much in the soup already
Sounds like the dedication needed to make this car a beast…
chopping the top? please say yes…
suicide doors too if you want to get em really excited :-p
C4 Corvette suspension.
Chop the top.
Solid panel floors.
Hard work is done 
honestly I havent decided on chopping the top, that was the original intent but that was when i was 1st looking at a few different post bodies. I ended up getting the hardtop because I like the look better, but I’m not sure how I feel about them chopped. It seems there are so few chopped hardtops.
dunno about suicide doors either, definitely shaved but we’ll see what happens
as far as suspension goes, I think for now I’m just doing bags on the stock setup. Haven’t decided on anything beyond that yet
what do you mean by solid panel floors? just flat sheetmetal welded in?
eesh. here she comes
yea, chopping a HT adds a bunch of extra work due to the lack of support structure (b pillars) and nowhere to hide the many minor adjustments needed to get things shaped correctly
