Need help finding a rust-free shell for a '72

[Zak's Z]

Hey guys,

I need some help! Does anyone know of a good source for a rust-free (or pretty close) shell for an early Z. I have a '72, and I pretty much have aquired all good parts, and it turns out my frame is too rusted to be worth fixing. In fact, it even appears someone already did some metal work last time around. I live in Toronto, Canada and all the Z's up here are generally rotted from our winters and the road salt.

I have been searching for a few months here, ebay, other sites, forums..etc. I have only found one or two rolling shells that dont need work. I know Texas, Arizona, and California are the promise land...but I'd like to find one closer if at all possible.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know...it will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Zak

I have one I'll give away - 72 shell only. Pass qtr panel has had bad bondo work - cleaned off now. Rust issue on the deck lid area. small rust hole in floor pan drivers side (quarter sized). Framerail is crunched from underneath hence that rust hole in floorpan. No other rust. Desert car. I'm moving 7/7. I'd like to have it go to sombody who can use it otherwise it will probably get crushed.

Before you crush it please let me know as I would like some pieces from it. That is unless the whole shell goes to a good home which I'd also rather see.

How mcuh would u sell the battery area for?

[kurtwwalters]

I have no tools to cut it apart - first one who hauls it off gets it FREE.
