Here are some pictures of my project when me and a few friends pick it up and took it home.

It is very complete.
























Includes original engine (Matching numbers)







Original bumpers too!!








And all four original fenders.

Boy !    Finding a "nugget"  like that would be a very rare thing here. One thing you Guys have going for you is finding rust free cars most of the time. Around here if you found a split or oval you would need a Tetnus shot and a pitch fork to load with. A Federal grant wouldn't hurt either.
     Even fiberglass buggys look like Shedded Wheat if they were left outside for a long period.  Good Luck on your latest.
