OK guys, lots of new information. I have found some sources for some parts, but still need to have other parts fabbed up. In the short time I have in the evenings I have been tearing apart the car to get a better idea of the repairs I need to make to the body. Seems that the floor pans need some work, particularly at the edge by the door sills. about 6 inches from the sill in towards the transmission hump, the metal is fine.

In the trip down here, the battery got damaged, so I have not started her up yet. I have a battery from Optima on order and should see that soon so then I can inspect the electrical and ensure it all functions.'

I have torn some of the side trim off and been cleaning the rust away. I will be mailing off the clips that hold the trim on to Restoration Specialties so that they can match them up and supply me with new c channel clips and wire clips.

I have dropped the gas tank out and am cleaning and re-sealing the tank up.

Also, I have removed the damaged windshields and am hunting down the gasket for them. I have a source for the windshields and will order those in a few weeks......

Here is a pic of the interior of the coupe.
