Moral of the story... Don't buy a car off the internet (project car OR show car) from a few pics without physically going to look at it in person. Hopefully the floorpans will be the only "surprise" you find that you couldn't see from pics but can easily see in person. Keep us updated, looks like a major project you are about to undertake. Good luck!
PS... did you get the "lightning rods" in the back seat? Might be able to hock them for a few bucks.
