Like it said earlier first page then this current picture.

I would never belive it is the same car

Todd, when you're done with the paint and interior, you should send a couple pictures to the PO.

The guy I got it from bought it as a parts car, and he took anything that was good on it. I'll show him on Performance Years, if I can ever remember my password there.

Long day today, doing a bunch of things, mostly imperceptible, but going towards making it a nicer driver, better looking, and yeah getting the bumpers on. Made front arm rests from a slab of maple I cut off a log I used to build my shop. That was kinda fun, they look like they will come out ok. Just something for me, and I don't care if nobody else likes it. Anyway, here's what I got done today, see if you can spot everything.

blue with white works!

That is the most important part.. Getting a moist spot...

That interior is original 1965 vintage grandma fresh hasn't been driven since 1982 vinyl. It was filthy when I got it, but it cleaned up great.

The color does a lot for it, and the pics hide most of the bad stuff. Still, it makes me smile and get all moist in my britches when I look at it.

The paint looks damn good for a driver.

Guess it is growing on me.. That white with blue does look pretty good!

Guess I just sat in too many funky white interiors or ones where the wners were too picky..

[Thumpin455]

I like the white with the blue, no idea why, it just gets it for me. I might be getting old or something.

Thanks Ryan, I was surprised how easy it was to shoot it.

The bumpers are going on shortly, and I have the stuff I need to put the swaybars on, then its glass and little stuff to driveable...

That paint looks deep! great job.

White interior is not my first choice, but when you find a car with an original interior in good shape, close to you, for less money than the entire repop interior would be, you use it.

Older guy at school had a Goat like this.. Black with white interior, 389-4 speed-4 barrel..
So always had a bit of a drool fest for one but NOT white interior!

[Thumpin455]

Yeah I need to wash it now. In time....

[Thumpin455]

More sanding, more buffing, more buffing, and then more buffing, then some assembly. Gotta be careful how I take pics of you will see my ugly mug and break your monitors. This is the worst panel on the car, missed some dents and feather edges. Oh well, its a driver.
