Should be a fun build to watch. It sure seems like plenty of sheetmetal was cut away. Do you have a donor car for the needed replacements or are you going to build what you need?

I already have new doors to replace the skins and have a lead on some front fenders, hood and windshield.

Since I lasted updated, I picked up some fenders, a hood and a windshield. That leaves me with the tail light assemblies. I was also able to start working on her again this week after my basement flooded a few months ago. I still have stuff to haul to the dump and then make repairs as we set up work days with the congregation. I just decided that I needed to get back to my stress release.
The first couple of pics are after sanding the roof.

The roof actually looks better than it is. She is pretty dented and so the next few pics are of the damaged marked with a permanent marker.
