I humbly thank everyone for your kind replies..
I think she's got some potential also.. I plan on driving it around while I do some of the work on 'er.. yup, it runs too.. & the trans seems still strong.. I do need to overhaul the brake system 1st, I have to be able to trust 'em. This'll give me a chance to hunt down the right parts like a good 6 cyl.-2.8 engine, stronger torque-converter, suspension parts, rims & tires, front air-dam, panels for the back windows, the many interior parts/carpets/upholstery, & etc.
Then once I get some of those parts gathered, I'll start working through the various systems to bring 'em back to great shape or better again.. And then finally get the body work & paint on her.
