I paid a little more than I wanted to, but it is solid and in pretty good shape. A little mechanical work (carb rebuild, and tune up type stuff) and some tires and she was road worthy.

I will someday strip the body and paint it all, but for now...I am just enjoying the drive.

I bought my panel in NM and drove it across country to get it home. The body was a long ways from perfect, but not a spot of rust thru anywhere, and the mechanicals I would have done anyways were almost all in place. I've added PS and PB to the manual disk/drum it already had, and tore out a mile of butchered wiring. Straightening all the dents in the body and adding some subtle custom touches and a host of creature comforts. The solid body makes fixing it a pleasure rather than a nightmare.
There may be a couple people on here with a good project starter they might be willing to part with. Bigwin maybe?
