Yea Joel. Hit in the front before I bought it in '73. It looked OK when I bought it, drove it 5 years, paid $3k for it.
A 1970's body shop repair, bondo & pop rivets. The car is now back to all fiberglass, there will be no putty on it that is over 1/64th of an inch thick.
I'll have over 500 hours in the body work but that's about average for a lot of C1/C2 restorations that are being done today.
Gotta get the bodywork done, there's boxes and boxes of shiny, new parts for the chassis in the next room that I'm supposed to be playing with this winter.
