Evidently you haven't crawled underneath it yet.This will be a slow moving project, but it will get done. Hopefully the car will move faster than my progress! Pics to follow.
It won't be a full blown restoration, thus the title. I plan to make some upgrades along the way. I will not be taking the car off the frame.
Wish me luck!

Good luck and post up some pictures.
I was just poking a little fun seeing how these are unibody cars, the frame is part of the body so there is no frame off restorations on them. Looks solid in the pictures.I'll rephrase: current plans are to leave it on the frame. Floors and trunk are solid as are frame rails. We'll see.......

That's good that it has a sure grip diff.
You should consider putting in frame connectors like I did.

While I'm happy to be back on the East coast, I miss my Alaska home and shop. I'm in a small condo at the moment....View attachment 720099 View attachment 720100
@Karl C. Vester can't wait to see more! I've got a 72 RR and am going to start on the metal in a few weeks. I'm looking at the frame connectors / torque box combo from USCarTool:

If you decide to put on a frame connectors/torque boxes post up where you got them from and if they were good please.
Can't wait to see progress on your RR.
