I own a body shop and did not do this car, but I can see lots of nice work in the floors and it would not take much handwork to get the bottom of the car ready for undercoat or even por 15 or paint.. just some gruntwork
The body I feel should be an easy task,, it would require a block and prime (fresh) and a guide coat blocking before spraying.
of course you will need some little things like hood and trunk latch, a gas tank(its running on a temporary cell now) that comes with the car,, it starts runs and drives great,, the flathead is smooth and has a nice rumble to it!!!
This is a true southern gem, not a rust bucket, but a nice honest car,, to start with, the flathead and the 4 speed only add icing to the cake...……….. this is one to surely consider for your stable.

I can add a buy it now if you want to buy it today,,, 304 719 2657
