Yea windows have been out of it since the early 90s when my uncle planned on running it but never got to it. Moisture must of been easier to dry up. I was surprised also. But the passenger floor pan is soft but will be replaced

74 chevy up front if the guy still has it. And im not sure what's going on the back yet. Something that will keep the frame rails together but not so hard that it makes the car bend funny. Probably using some I beam bumper shocks on the rear and im still trying to locate my front brackets. My question is how would I go about adjusting the camber on my front tires. My steering setup is coming together. Just gotta tie up a few loose ends. This car will be powered by Gropp

A little more work done today. I was just going to swap rear ends and put the one from my 61 under this 59 but the 61 merc 9" is wider. So the 3rd member and gears from the 61 is going in the 59 housing. Then I will re-mount the leafsprings. Move the shackles to the frame and relocate the front mounts.
