Agreed and it has the long/older style trunk/hood
I would check the door sills if I where you tough :?

The left hand door sill is a bit rough but the heater channel inside is solid.

Fonz, it'll also get the older style doors as well with the twin windows. I wanted to put the early steering wheel on as well but the splines are different :(

Not to bad than.
Nice me likey old style, you can probably fetch an older steering column for not to much, might be worth it.
The older doors are harder to top chop though :lol: (if you decide to go full rod later on).
I don't know how expensive the old style, longer, fibreglass (front) trunk is but that would look ace on a rod :twisted:

EDIT*

really like this one (although it isn't a rod), but no moneys for it and no space to keep it dry :cry:
Maybe in the near future...
