    And if the drivers mirror is decent I would be interested. If you can post a couple pictures that would be great

    I only need the center front speaker; deferring to Rob on any others (I hope you have a stereo Rob!).

    It looks like the horns are sold. If things fall through with the first person then I will let you know. Thanks.

    It's a twelve bolt, for a larger car though. I'm not selling part of the rear end though. I'm hoping to sell the rear end locally. It may go to the scrapper though.

    I will not be cutting the car up for the panels. I know that makes some guys angry but I don't have the time. Unless someone really wants the left quarter or other sheet metal it is going to be scrapped. The car is clean too. We don't have the room to keep it and if we sit it outside in the grass it's just going to disappear into the grass. The car was slammed good on the right side so there is no good sheet metal but the left side is fantastic. There is little rust underneath. It's a really clean car. It couldn't be restored with how it was hit but it still has great sheet metal on the left side, trunk, and most of the passenger floor.

    The handles look really good except for the front right. The handle is no good at all. It is there but got scuffed good from the impact. The passenger rear made it.

    George,

    The shroud looks even worse than I thought. I apologize. When you look at 50 parts on a car the memory doesn't work to full capacity. The top section where one of the bolts goes is cracked completely off. I do have it if you want to glue it. I wont have that piece in my hands until next weekend so if you still want the shroud I would send it out after I get that piece, take a picture and make sure you are ok with it. If you want it then it's 20.00 shipped. You said cheap. That is as cheap as I can go. Let me know.

    Thanks.

    Those tires look decent; can you read the date codes/are they recent? Narrow whites getting hard to find; if they're 235/75-15 might be interested.

    Still curious about that center front radio speaker.....

    Thank you for the photos of the shroud, and wow it is worse than I thought.

    The piece that is need is on the front top between the mounting points.

    Could you take one more photo from the front top.

    Hopefully this helps. I understand about the worse part. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if you didn't want it.

    The radio and/or the speakers weren't making any noise. I didn't have time to see what was going on with them. I wont until this weekend. You're second in line for speakers. I will let you know. As for the tires I may not have an answer until this weekend either. I can say the car came from an auction pool and was hit on the right side hard. Tires normally go flat in those pools waiting to be bought and because of being wrecked. None of tires are flat yet and all have excellent tread. The back two are a different make than the front though.

    Thanks for all your help with the shroud.

    The attached photo is what I really need.
    You can cut this area and ship it in a smaller box.

    Let me know what you want for this area.

    George.

    Rob, all I need is the front center speaker; if the car has a rear speaker or speakers at the four corners, please be my guest.

    Darn it, I could use some 71-76 B body taillamp sockets with the nice ground. My 64 sockets are caput.
