66 2dr post What do you guys think it would take to finish? If the frame, fender patches, and quarters were done correctly, it might be a good project.

If the work is done well, it may be a decent buy...
Would you be OK with the smoothed firewall? If you want it more "original", that's a pretty big thing to change.
Are interior parts available for the 300 sedan?

Yes I was looking for an original firewall. Seats are there, not sure about the rest. I see the headliners are available. I didn't realize that the door panels and seat covers were not abailable. I sent an email regarding a number of things.

I think most people end up just using "Malibu" interior parts because they're readily available... not a big deal if you're building a nice driver, and not totally concerned about originality.

I think SMS still will make the seat covers and possibly the door panels; but I here they are expensive. I have heard Malibu coupe rear door panels will not work; but have heard that SMS is an option. I think my biggest issue would be with the firewall; but again I saw a couple of 300 deluxes in salvage yards out west that had average door panels with good firewalls. So anything is possible with enough $'s.
