Anyway, I spent way too much, however, I am so happy that I chose to have this restoration done the right way. It's going to be great! To lessen the blow, all monies paid into this restoration will be a write off since my "pension plan" owes this car. There is tax loop-hole that allows you to own a historic vehicle (just not as a daily driver) and any and all costs are tax deductible through a defined benefit pension plan. Just like stocks, gold coins, etc.
Here are some pics of what we uncovered.
Enjoy while you can.

Jack. I assume you've already done it, but if you haven't, it's a great time to do brake lines, fuel lines, gas tank. Wheel bearings, calipers etc can be done anytime, but while you're at it. It was back in 94 to 96 I did my frame off of my 65. This brings back alot of memories, not all good
