Sorry fellas, the back frame is gone. Its no good. swapping the landau leather buckets into the t-top black one.

As long as you end up with one good one. A clean custom/resto is worth a couple rotting away, makes em rarer. I hacked up two 80's for my 79 project ( one of the 80's was a factory turbo t-top, though without original drivetrain, still kickin myself )

they make rear frame rail replacements... swap the parts you want then sell it off as a project. :)
Tony is right, that car looks way too clean to part out and junk.

How many amps are you looking for? Im running a 140amp powermaster right now. I got a few electronics. I dont know if an MSD, electric water pump, electric fuel pump, dual electric fans take up as much juice as your system. but you should be good.

A higher amp alt mounts out perfectly in that stock location. I use a single wire set up.

check out summit or jegs.

First thing, thanks for the input, you've been a big help.. As far as the electroniccs I'm running, well I have the air ride system running 4 compressors and as for my music 2 jl amps 2 JL subs 2 sets of component JL speakers and I have an extra batter in the trunk and a capasatator if this info helps any... But thanks again dude I appreciate it
