[Fot] Group 44 car found

[Tim Suddard]

Guys, the frame is decent, as is the front inner fender panels and some of the rest of it. Some of the parts Group 44 parts were used in the other car and can be taken back out.

Tough one, but I couldn’t let it rust in someone’s backyard any longer.

If you re-body some, or all of it, have you really saved it? While I know, from correspondence that some of the Group 44 parts are on the red car, much of the Group 44 stuff is long gone.
