Picked up this really nice body with (im told) the original engine 235 L6 and trany.
Body had already been sandblasted and everything removed. Now I have to clean the body back up as it was outside for 2 years and figure out where everything fits. Ever done a puzzle that was missing some pieces but had duplicates of some..... Its got Crager Rims. (woulda rather had original Chevy rims with the emblem but they are still nice)
