When I put the car up on a lift, the rocker panels were all wavy, as though 
the car had taken a pretty good shot at some point in its life and been 
repaired badly.   The curve of the panels didn't match side-to-side, which is 
difficult to discern in photos.

But what was really most striking about this car is the obvious mechanical 
neglect it had suffered; especially ironic since the owner owns a 4x4 truck 
custom and repair shop!
