The way it was going to be restored was a fore-gone conclusion the minute I heard about it and saw it. I can't be 100% certain until I find the son of the original owner and talk to him. However if I had to form a conclusion based on what I am seeing, I think this was put together at the dealer with the original owner looking on or overseeing the job. There does not seem to be any wires out of place or spliced in to make something work, no odd welding that would suggest conversion, no odd fitting body panals, or parts that look like they don't really fit or belong so someone fixed it or made them fit with a hammer, none of that. So I am going with what I see. I am really chomping at the bit to see how this is going to come out. But I have to have a certain amount of patience and all will come together at some point in time. Pictures will be forth coming when I get them. The way the car looks right now is rough with everything off of it. It kinda looked better before I started even as rough as that was, so the next pictures I post will most likely be the ones where it has been primered.
