So my dad purchased this car in the spring of 1992. It was a pretty straight car minus the really bad color change. We started working on it later that year. I started on some of the rust repair and got a good bit of it done. Then life and other projects took over. Then I got married had a kid other projects came up. Then about 6 years ago I decided it was time to get this project going again. We took it to a painter that came highly recommend. Well it sat there for nearly six years with the only work that was done was having it sand blasted the first year it was there. So we decided to go pick it up and I would finish the rest of the rust repair. That was in July. I finally have it ready to go to the new painter in January. This chassis had a lot of pin hole rust under a bunch of the seam sealer. I was able to weld up all the pin holes up. It was a ton of work. During the last couple of years I have cleaned up the carbs and the transmission. We had all the hardware replated. I am now working on getting all the engine hardware replated so I can start putting the engine back together. Here are so pictures of the progress so far.
