Good question.

The car is heading to the shop to have items addressed next week, will get their input.

Nicole,
I’m putting my 69 back together myself and I often find myself going down the rabbit hole of trying to figure out what to do in regards to maintaining originality.
Ive finally decided to just focus on getting the car back together and running in the most cost effective, efficient way.
I figure I can always go back and make changes later if I want.

Frame off restoration. DUB, that recently passed.

The work he did was really good. Just wish he had been able to complete the restoration as I don’t know what his vision was for the car.
