Salt, first of all it would be easier and cheaper to start from scratch.
This car was last raced (I believe) in the mid seventies, and I think that other than the top, everything else would need to be replaced.
It is impossible to reach some areas of a Studebaker to remove salt (unless you remove the rear quarter panels every year) and the chassis is probably toast also if there were any holes drilled into it.
Both the body and chassis will rust from both inside and outside.
The roll cage is probably welded from "seamed" steel pipe or of unknown thickness.
If it has a quickchange rear, it is probably eaten up. On and on.
This is a historical car and I think it should be honored "AS IS" as a tribute to Neil and our sport.

Bob, This is pretty much why I wanted to "only" own it instead of racing it (even back in the 70s)....
But, if, as you alluded to, it will be going to a/an/or THAT LSR Museum, that WOULD be a RELLY GOOD place for it to be!.... But, if it EVER gets put up for sale, I would want to know about it ASAP!..... I missed ONE car, so far, that, to me anyways, had HUGE LSR historical significance.... I still shed tears over the end that it received....
