70 Standard Equipment Car, Still fixing the body Options

[nathanxnathan]

I've been looking for a needs-some-love car to do like a rolling restore on. — A car with not a crazy amount of rust but needing a lot of the parts that I've got 2 or 3 of from my other way-too-deep project. To put the 2nd best, not quite perfect parts from my stash on.

This past Friday I think I found the car finally, saw it on Craigslist. I sent the link to my girlfriend with the caption "so tempting" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I kept going back to the page to look, and at about 3:30 called the seller, left work early and drove from Anaheim to Redondo B each to look at it.

Well it was a bit rough but so much good on it, that I bought it. Waited 5 hours for a tow truck, and got it back to my studio where it's parked now.

I hope to do like a focused restore, keep the project creep to a minimum, go in like a surgeon and take care of the issues. I'm going to try to keep the thread like here's the issue, here's the work, and how I took care of it... instead of like here's how I took my entire car apart to a bare metal cut up body and got stuck lol.

Anyway, here are some pics
