Dibs on the chrome rear window & windshield trim and the chrome vent windows when you finally return to reality and realize that's not going to be a good idea. . .

I recommend reading through the Technical thread, but if I end up doing the welding work on the floors, I'll build a jig (picture a box of horizontal latters using 3" square tubing) onto which I'll bolt the unibody at the torsion bar tube and the steering rack crossmember mounting points. Then fix the front gas tank support, bolt that up, then get to work on the center of the car.

As the saying goes "Money fixes anything". Just don't go around and try to sell it in the next 100 years or so.

By the time that car is restored to the point where it can be driven somewhat safely, gas will be $100 a gallon and cars will be illegal.
