Buddy crashed his car and is looking for a clean, straight core support, headlight housings, bezels and lenses.
All front bumper brackets and left rear.
Grille, left fender, maybe both. The right isn't damaged but had a lower patch put on BADLY in the past.
Prefer to pick up with cash, but if too far will consider paying for shipping.

He has owned it for 24 years and had taken it all apart to do a restoration in a tiny garage and had NO idea how to put it all back together. I put this back on the road for him, 4 years ago and he was so ashamed to tell me, I didn't know about this for 6 months. I finally cornered him at a club meeting in March and got the story. It has been sitting at a shop that doesn't have the ability to repair the damage, so was looking for a clean body shell to replace his with. I picked it up today and will get it repaired where I work. We do wrecks way worse than this all the time.

He spun out and tagged both ends.

Looks worse than it is. There was a lot of rust in the wheel house and it blew up instead of passing more of the energy forward. The door pillar will need to be pulled back where it belongs, but it is doable.

Bringing this back up. I'll be making a trip to eastern TN and central KY, probably next week.

Anyone with parts in those areas or along a route from Hudson WI, and back, please speak up.
IA, MO, northern AR, TN, KY, southern OH, IN, IL. Staying south of the toll roads in those states.
