Appreciate your reply, I took the windshield out today and probably will do as you suggest as the headliner is still in good shape. Plan on having the shell sandblasted in/out and building back up. there is extensive rust from the floorpans to the firewall and all of this will need replaced. rails still in moderate shape and the seatmounts in good shape. will probably need to go up the tranny hump 4-6 inches. Outer rockers are in better shape than inners. Car was originally yellow and second or possibly first owner painted black. Going back with Silver ext and black interior. Anyone out there can suggest again where to purchase replacement panels, most appreciated. Donny
