. The body was pretty damn solid (no rot underneath and longs look factory fresh). The interior is all original and is almost perfect, so I didn't bother replacing any of it (one little tear in one seat bottom and two little cracks on the dash). After looking over the body when it got here, I decided it would need paint to make me happy as it had too many small blemishes. So I stripped it down and painted it in the garage with a buddy of mine. It is borderline perfect. I could not be happier with the paint. The battery tray needed a little work and the holes under the rear reflector had to go. This project of course snowballed and I spent way to much time (roughly 230 hours) and money...oh well. I think the wife will forgive me eventually now that the garage is back in order. I bought refurbed wheels from Alex Magro as two of my originals were cracked...oops. I should note that the guys at Auto Atlanta have been a great help as they have stuff you can not get anywhere else...those guys rock. George deserves way more praise than he gets around here. Well here are a ton o pics...Big thanks to my Dad for coming down on the weekends to help knock this out before my new baby boy was born. I think we got it on the road just a few days before he came out!
Really NICE work--pretty cool original spare tire too . . .
