Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
I purchased this car in September of 2009 as a basket case. My intention was to put it back together and drive it. The more I looked at it, the more I wanted to "do it right". since it didn't come with the original engine, I've allowed myself do things I wouldn't have considered with a numbers matching car.
The body had a really great paint job, but the rest of it was a mess. I removed the body in November 2009, and completely disassembled the frame, and had it sand blasted and powder coated.
I reassembled the frame and replaced all of the suspension wear parts with new, replaced the clutches in the differential, rebuilt the parking brakes, rebuilt the trailing arms, replaced all wheel bearings, replaced the rotors with drilled & slotted, rebuilt and powder coated the calipers. The new engine and original transmission is installed, and I've added chrome hooker sidepipes.
I've done a lot of repairs to the inner fenders, firewall, and several places, under the body. While working on those areas, I removed all of the original undercoating, inside and out. I've shot the interior with Lizardskin sound and heat control. I am currently prepping the engine bay, inner fenders (inside and out), and the entire underbody for high gloss black paint. Once painted, and I've reinstalled all of the riveted metal parts I removed, it will be time to put the body back on the frame. Hopefully that will happen next month.
