its been a little over a year since it all started but its finaly getting there.
before, you can see it shined ok but some rust starting and bad dondo work pealing off. i decided after the show season id get it redone.

striped it over the winter and drove it to the body shop as soon as the snow melted.

after the bulk off the body work was done me and the painter decided the engine bay needed to be blasted and painted so with some help from my dad out came the motor and trans.

i got the motor rebuilt while it was out and rebuilt the trans myself

all apart almost ready for paint

First time I see that, and it sure is a good idea!

Wow it's looks great! You must be so excited to get it up and running, I know I was and then realized how super paranoid I got and scared to drive it anywhere when I finished.

(Sorry I didn't mean to scare you.)

Great job. It's nice to see a young man put his sweat and money into a classic. We need more like you involved in the hobby.
