I thought I would start where it began with the pics I
got on delivery in Norfolk Va.
2 days before my Birthday in March 2005
These pics show the general condition on the day I picked it up. It had
rust in both quarters both doors and both fenders, the deck lid was rusty
as were wheelhousings, trunk floor and rear filler panel. Basically the
only real good sheet metal was the hood and roof .
Summer of 2007 it looked like this. All the welding was
done and now its time for a lift off the frame and a trip to the blaster!
Loaded for the trip to Blastco for media stripping the
shell . The car is on a donor frame as the original frame is at the powder
coater.
The pics in primer are the only rust repair that is still left to do. The
entire is now primer and back in the garage
More info to come as restoration progresses!
