History
Bought this car years ago from a local body man. Kept it in storage for many years waiting for the right time, which is now. Nice car but needed everything. More than ready for the task, loving every minute of it when I get to work on it. Both quarters, floor board, trunk bath tub have been installed. All of the metal work is done. Starting on the body work, making it straight. Next big project is to blast and paint frame.
