Here are some pics of my project Kar I purchased a few months back. It was amazing to find pics of the Kar from earlier for sale listings on this site. So here are some pics from the first sale. [Blocked Image: http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/GMeindl/5R07K166988-1.jpg?t%201295621588]

The Kar is currently on the frame machine. Work has begun to repair all the " restoration " work performed by the previous three owners. I wish they hadn't touched the kar. It has been weeks of going backwards trying to figure out a plan of attack and removing poor work. I have been lucky enough to have purchased original and NOS parts for the Kar so that we have now begun to put it back together. First up was pull the bent front frame rail and make sure the Kar was square. A new floor pan will have to be installed and that is up next. A NOS tailight panel will also be going in and a takeoff radiator support from a parts car. All of the junk aftermarket parts have been removed, hood, fenders, radiator support ( that was tacked in ) and rusted out doors. The trunk lid is original to the Kar and the Ivy Green paint is visible !
The vin#'s are intact and a the tell tale K code signs are there. I am off to the Big E this weekend for the swap meet to try to find more pieces and will post some more pics when I get them this weekend.
