Going to start putting my pictures here....

Bought the car 10/27/2012. Was going to be a runner, but I eventually ended up going frame up. Car was original paint and interior. Relatively little rust due to it being a California car, delivered to Oxnard, Ca.

Unfortunately I've lost some of my photos due to a digital camera getting lost. But I've taken photos with phones and other cameras. I may need some help along the way with some aspects as the camera was to be my instruction set. A valuable lesson in downloading your photos often!

Here's 3 pictures from the evening I took the car home. It didn't run, but the engine rotated. The cloth on the harness wire was falling off.

Here's a few pics from just about a year ago. It was the day following the purchase.

and a few more...

Well, I haven't been too good at posting progress, but I'm excited to share I've got my chassis about done. Body man called and wanted it so the body could settle to adjust doors, etc.

He didn't have to ask me twice!

Made some progress today. Body is back on the chassis finally!

Looking good Rich! A real milepost in the restoration process when the body goes back on the chassis, congratulations.

Thanks! Last night we found out hanging doors is a real pain. I'm now hunting for info on that.

I saved and marked each body spacer and shim thinking it would be an easier task. I couldn't have been more wrong.
