    Molded in two halves with a center seam, rough edges, unfinished edges, warped roof, glass sticking out of the gelcoat, etc., etc. And that's just what I can see in the photos. Also, there's no indication of how the body is braced - wood, metal? It's your nickel, but I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. Just my not-so-humble opinion.

    If thats it I second the opinion, the last pick you can zoom in and see the sag in the roof, starting with a project like that might make you want to end your hobby! Firewall is not even bonded to the body on the engine side and lots of glass strands showing, not built or stored on a solid frame either. Best of luck but beware! Matt hyj
