I bought it as a total basket case 2 years ago, right here on ebay. I took it to my shop in MO, where I cut the frame completely apart, squared it and welded it back together. All of the bracketry for the front and rear suspension went in the trash, and I made all new, the way my Dad taught me back in the 1970's, torch,vise and grinder. Same with the motor mounts,master cylinder mount, steering mount etc...This car was built with simplicity in mind, notice the taillights, bed straps, mirrors and headlight stands those parts were still wrapped in 1978 newspaper in plain cardboard boxes when I purchased the basket case. Same for the headers, and the windshield frame, (I have the top half if you would like it).
