I received this question from a buyer and thought it would be good information to ad to the description - "can you tell me what sheetmetal parts were replaced ? Are the floors,trunk, rockers,etc. original ? Is the engine original to this car ? Thanks"
Answer:Classic Enterprises parts: Driver and passenger floor panel, body supports, pillar base, sub floor boxes, inner and outer rockers, anti-kink hood stiffener, vent shroud all welded in place. If I remember correctly, the only CE parts used in its entirety were the rockers, and perhaps the torque boxes, other parts were cut to fit. Parts of the floors, trunk,are original, rockers are not. The engine came with car, but it is doubtful that it's original #PS1102. If you need any close up pic, like trunk w/o carpet let me know.On Aug-04-18 at 05:20:04 PDT, seller added the following information:

Another bidder has asked: Miles since frame off, and paint quality: Not sure but would guess 1,000 miles since frame off. As to paint, it is about 15 years old, has never been "detailed", used quality SW paint on top of 2K high build.
