All lower panels and supports from Frogeye till the 'semi-eliptic' springs
were fitted are the same. But $800.00 sounds mighty cheap. You are either
getting a great deal or........
You are going to spend much more than that in parts.
Just a word of advise to the body man, get the bonnet correct and fitted
first (saves $2000.00 + years -proof and times if desired.)
Cheers,
Martyn
