This has been a 3 year restoration with about 400 plus labor hours. Granted most of the time I am spinning wheels.

Not original but Club Sportsman style seats from England.
Attachment 48350894
Seats will be the only bling on what is a pretty dull looking car. I keep hearing from friends what color are you going to paint it?
Nardo Gray is the paint not the primer. Shifter will be black. It was red when I bought the rebuilt transmission.

Starting to add some trim and electrical.

We have never done one before except when he was around 13/14 and decided the 55 F100 my dad and I were building was his. So it became his project. Now 40 years later here we are. He is a much better mechanic if you look at our build thread.

Fully welded replacement frame. I built a metal body dolly. I am stripping the paint down to bare fiberglass. It is a slow process for me.
