Help so I don't buy a lemon

Just found a 69 with no side or rear windows, factory V8 and turbo trans. Very straight except some waves in roof and some ding around grill. No visable rust or paint bubbling, but sitting in grass bottom of body looks good and checks out with magnet. Doors all open and other than pins worn seams solid all switches work windsield is broken ( are they avaible? )
Where are the problem areas its been sitting since 2005...Thanks Jim

Body is always the most important , will tell you this anything sitting that long will leak something from dried out gaskets. You are in the best area to find a early so don't jump on the first one before you see what else is around you. Welcome to the site

Thank l will most likely buy just for parts. Steering coulmn,dog house,doors and whatever else helps with V8 conversions

Sounds way too good to part out. If no visible bubbling and if it's been sitting a long time it doesn't sound like it has a lot of rust.

Yes I hope no rust, but it does have a lot of mold. I pick it up Sunday

Heh heh Congratulations and welcome,langan ! By the way,these folks go crazy over pics.Simple Green and a pressure washer does wonders.

welcome langan, don't let moe fool ya with 'these folks'

Pics, pics, pics! The windshield is an easy find. They are the same as what is used in the pick ups. -John
