i might be dumb, but what i would do with something like that is some fab work or something, i mean not try to restore it to origina, i would cut teh fenders out until your to clean metal and then make somekinda flat fenders for the front, kinda like a jeep, or hummvee, id put those cheap fender flares on it that just clip on, it would be more of a Beast! just daydreanming

Might try to find a donor body for that frame, it'd probably make that project alot easier and less $$$ - but if you've got the guts and the knowhow go for it!
