my lowbuck "Panda" project

[topfooldugster]

I picked up this 71 driver last month, cheap. It has a 305 auto, headers, 4 barrel, power brakes and steering, also had a tilt, cd system, and it runs and drives well. On the other hand, it's ugly. The doors were shot, the paint was bad, (peeled off in sheets, with a razor) Someone halfway did a long to short conversion. I decided to build a very low dollar driver, and utilize the trim pieces I have had sitting around for years.Traded some suburban doors I had for some nice pickup doors. I had most of the trim to make a Cheyenne, and I painted it flat black and white, (hence the Panda name) using rust paint. A buddy gave me the tires, to return a favor, and I had the wheels. Straightened out a couple of old bumpers I had, bought a seat from the wreckers, and for less than $1200 total, including purchase price, I have a fun driver. Maybe in the spring, I'll finish the conversion, and cut the 8" off the rear, and maybe not...
