That is a great find. I would clean it up and keep it as it is. BTW, what chassis did you use under it?

Thanks Rick, It is the kit chassis. Looks like I lowered it with a lighter... Its very old,I probably did. I come up with better ways of doing that now days..
Thanks, Rick :)

I think a limited rebuild/restore save as much as you can, new coat of paint and decals on the body and put it on the shelf...

I love it. I think you should do only what's needed to make it raceable. Then send it to me.

Thanks for the comments guys. I've got it disassembled now for cleaning. Will be on hold for a while I've still got two trucks to try to finish. Oh, while I was going thru things in my shop I also found that Junior Johnson Ford I lost.
Thanks
Rick :)
