The 52 Chevy is done and driving fine, and the '62 Comet takes up most of my daytime hours so it's on to something else at night. This one is my first car, and one that I started to restore years ago and became frustrated at the paint job so I shelved the whole project until my skills could catch up with my expectations. I bought this car in '87 for $1100 from the estate of the original owner when I was 15. It had 24K miles on it. It now has 58K.
I had planned on doing something else before this one but this is now a priority since my grandmother has asked to see it done and she is not in good health. I have much work left to do, but the good thing is that I have collected a ton of NOS parts to complete the car.
Should I repaint now or put it together and paint it later?
Just pulled it out of the back of the garage today.
I had the seats done with NOS upholstery. Try to find that stuff!
Gave it a bath to clean off all the crud.
Paint still shines good. Too bad the fenders and hood are slightly different from the rest of the car.
