Good morning all, I've had my 76 for almost 30 years (garaged) and about six years ago I started a refresh that turned into a full frame off restoration. Chassis and driveline are done. 5.8L with GT40P heads, Trick Flow intake, 24lb injectors...guessing 325-350 hp...I could go on....
Anyway, my plan for the body was to repair the known problems on the existing body. It's in very good condition, straight, never hit. It came from the southwest when I bought it. The idiot before patched the floor pan in the worst way, so I knew that would be the problem, along with rockers and door posts. So I had it dipped at a cost of about $3k. It came back with more cancer exposed then I had expected, but still planned to repair. I built a sold jig for it and have it on a rotisserie.
I've been busy with work for the past year, and I'm 64...so with the prospect of building a retirement house in the mountains I think that maybe it's time I back off and take a shortcut and buy a new body from Dennis Carpenter, they're only a couple/three hours from me.
So I'm trying to gauge interest in selling the tub and determining a price, so;

- Any interest? If there is, I'll post detailed pictures and list it in the Classified section.
- I have no idea how to price, so any advice would be appreciated.
