Advertised as Frame Off Restored, Show Quality.
Item #270159631910

They must have put in a new floor, but didn't put in any of the Vert bracing. I don't like to pick cars apart (and lots of picking could be done on this one) but how long before this car twists if it's not fixed? No shakers either.

C'mon... who needs all that extra weight? Or a front anti-roll bar? Or a dust shield over the converter?

Is it me, or does it look like the bolt in X-brace is welded to the floor?

Yes, That's what drew my attention to it.

HHHHAAAAA!:D

Another quality fresh restoration by our friends in Osage Beach.

Yes, the X-brace is welded in.

How else would you install it, when there is nothing to bolt it to................................................ .................................................. .................................................. ............................................... BECAUSE WHEN THEY REPLACED THE FLOOR PAN THEY DIDN'T BOTHER TO INSTALL THE EXTRA CONVERTABLE BRACING TO BOLT IT TO!!!:noway:

Good thing it's advertised as show quality and not a driver, because you cant drive it very long without that underbody frame bracing and door wedges before it starts to fold up.
That is such a hack job, it may be criminal.

It took me a while to figure out the door panels, they are missing the stainless strips! :)

Front springs have a spacer in them to keep it up. Just buy new coils!
