Quarter panel looks like it has a nice crease in it too.

How much are you planning to spend on the body work?

Re: 83 update

eh just the panel behind the door has a dent, im probly not gonna spend as much as i plan on spending on the drivetrain, probly just gonna bondo it and paint it myself with help from dear ole Dad too lol and yeah i wouldnt think it cost too much to paint it flat black cuz theres nothing really to that color...probly spend 100$ for a can of good auto paint.

Re: 83 update

I am glad to see your update. Looks like a good start IMO. It has tons of potential. If you are going with a budget paint job, stick with black. I think it will look better then white which you mentioned was your other coice.
