Picked up a red widebody Conquest tonight. I took off the pieces i want and everything else is up for grabs. Interior is complete minus the center console, which i am keeping. Sunroof car. Quarters are rusted. Good rocker panels and hood. One piece airdam needs repaired. Several rips/cracks. 7 and 8" wheels are in decent condition.   Came with 3 piece metal louvers. Missing a few brackets for the center louver but i believe i have an extra set.     Let me know what you're looking for and i'll se
