Looking For A Body

Hi, Im looking for a body for my 1971 cutlass. My Drivers side firewall is pushed in 1/2, Floor panels and truck needs to be replace. Its more work than I want to do.I attached some pics.
Im in NY, I hope I can find something close to me.
Thank you

No offense, but that car's totaled. What are you expecting to save from it? Maybe just find another complete car?

That is an option. If I can find a car at a cost I can afford. lol. I do have a new chassis. rear qtrs are already done. New front end parts with Engine and Trans. Looking in to some options.

No that isn't totaled but would take a lot of work. They sell all the parts except the frame. The frame section could be salvaged for a different frame.

When there's a will, there's a way. One of my late fathers old sayings. Know a Guy in Anthony, TX, who has two carcasses, southwestern metal, but their both the less desirable "Supreme" bodies. One is even NON vinyl top. Good luck with your project. Dave S. .southern New Mexico.
