Thanks. That pic was about 4 years ago, but he's looked after it very well. At that time it had 6 cylinder springs in it. It bottomed out too much, so now it has replacement springs & shocks front and new cargo coils and shocks in the rear.
Oh and it has a dynoed 375 horse 355/350TH with shift kit & 2500 stall. We're going to do a new rear this year.8)
This is what I meant about the underside falling down when the body came off...
from behind the passenger looking forward
drivers side looking back :x
body mount behind the driver 😢
At this point I was still game to continue..we fixed the frame....sandblasted and painted it...then.... the more I looked at the rust the more I wondered what have I get myself into...

Must of spent some time in the east..most western cars are better shape due to less salt being used.
I found the build sheet under the headliner..it's a local car. It was sitting for 5 years in a guys back yard, I'm thinking that didn't help as well as the use of salt on our roads in the winter out here 
I'm not sure I've ever seen the under-car pics of that thing.... :shock:
That's what my '80 Landau looked like, and why I got rid of it :lol: It was a basket case to start with, the previous owner used screwdrivers (yes, screwdrivers) to hold the gas tank straps in place... I could only imagine what other hilljack things had been done to the car :?

Darren, I posted a couple of pics on MR a long while back.
When I first looked at it I couldn't get imder tp check the floor pans. I knew the guy that had it for sale. I could deal with the rust in the pans but the body mount stuff was something else :shock: I realized the worst of it when I pulled the body off. I did get a pretty good deal on it and it is fully loaded.....came with a 350 and non lockup 350TH, posi rear, not to mention the front end parts are in great shape. I also got some NOS chrome trim with it, so it's not all bad. I just got a little disheartened with the rust so on the back burner it went.
