Looks like a decent builder - it is a two door. Did anyone else notice the missing head bolt?

Wow, someone has a good eye for detail.   No, I missed that one.

And, the fan pulley is the two groove style...either this car had power steering at one time, or the pulley came from one that did.

The frame rails in roughly the center of the car have had the bottom flanges beat up pretty bad, as well as the bottom flanges on the X-member. But it sure looks solid underneath, with only surface rust.......at least from what I can see.
