And so it begins ..., Restoring a left for dead /6 Options

[SirAndy]

McMark took some time out of his busy schedule to fly to CA and help me get my /6 rolling.

It will be traveling to Original Customs in Michigan soon to begin its transformation into a running and driving car.

Looking good

A few questions.....why does the car have the ignition mounted on the steering column (looks like) instead of the dash, a six thing

And aren't true sixes more valuable/desirable in their stock form? I.E. No flares, original color and so on..

Either way, I'm sure it will be a great six when you are done with it.

Thanks for sharing the build with us.

As stated already, i bought this as a bare shell with no parts.
None, nothing, nada, zilch

In order to make it a roller, i bought cheap used /4 suspension parts, which included the steering bits.

Because it really doesn't matter where you have a non-working ignition switch while you push the car around the shop.

I hear ya. Makes perfect sense to me.

How did you vet the car (make sure it's a true six) if it basically came devoid of any parts but the shell?

Devoid of parts yes, but not devoid of a title or matching VIN numbers ...
