The big hair and the swimsuit had me for a second, but then I looked at the car.

If you do decide to chop #702 keep track of what you used to put her back together.

I've been lurking around the bay quite a bit. The parts are dirt cheap in comparison to 53 parts.

Why not just looked for a clapped out convertible,that way you have all the convertible parts?The way the prices are for these right now might be able find a complete car for cheap and sell off what you dont need.

Rear clips are dirt cheap. Under $1000 for everything needed. Remember, the rear upper surround panel and decklid will only be used to apply the rear 1/4's and then a new mold and panel will be made from the spliced panel.
