New member with an old problem
« on: November 15, 2012, 11:04:15 AM »
Hello all glad I made it on here finally..

I've got a 1981 Eagle Kammback that is beyond restoring to original.. Too many missing critical parts. I'm in Kansas City area and look forward to any assistance I can get to repair the cancer that has set in . and get it back to being what it can be.. Will update when I'm not at work.

Welcome

to bad about the rust

Rockers are shot. Passenger rear Wheel well has a big hole that previous owner foamed closed..

A nest member took a look at it when my cousin owned it..
I had to save it, too unique.

The rocker panels on my Kammback were pretty shot also but you can get replacements pretty cheap.  Don't know what to say about the hole in the wheel well without seeing a picture.

Posted photo's of some of the rust issues over on the Body thread.. Thought if someone was scrapping an Eagle could maybe cut out the front portion of the well..
