The front cap, as per the assembly (mating) of the body to the chassis that I was referring to is the complete assembly consisting of the front fenders, grille, rad support, lights and inner fenders. In the factory, this assembly was lowered as a single unit and mated to the frame. It contained all of the wiring for the lights, horns, etc. and made quick work of getting the car together.

As for the interior, I am missing my rear seat bottom. I'm going to have to get all of my upholstery redone, so it doesn't really matter what condition it's in as long as the frame is complete. Please let me know how much, and where so I can figure out if I can afford the shipping.

Good luck on your project- I think it's a great idea. If I was close by, I would offer my services for lettering- I used to have a sign company and know my way around a brush!
