Andy:

I think you have a great car there. For a good vantage point about a total restoration by a creative, economically sound individual, I'd suggest you check out "Henry's 55 Constellation. Hank is restoring a 1955 Clipper Constellation that was apparently in worse shape than what you have. Hank has done an amazing job and really gets into the details of the process, not to mention the fact that I think he's a great guy and truly innovative.

Looking at the photos, I was particularly impressed with the interior. More often than not, barn finds often attract mice or other critters, while the fabrics and plastics rot away. Is that the original interior? I don't see a woman who bought the car in 1960 and stashed it away a few years later spending the time and money on a new interior.

Good luck on your car and I look forward to reading about its progress.
