  That is going to be a sweet cobo, she will be more than able to shame some x'ers. As far as your appraisal of your car, there are a lot of us who don't have the $$$$$$$$ to just take a car to a restorer and say "Do it" and then return a couple years latter and write a check. Yes, most of us need to have the body and paint done by the guys with the space, tools and craftsmenship, but the rest is done by the hobbist, and as you said, it is mine. Except in my case my wife insist I share with her  Keep us posted please, that also translates : More pics

Hey Moparclown!  Don't know how I missed this thread the first time through.....      Better late than never I guess.  She is coming along great!     Glad you have been able to keep her and bring her back to her glory.  I know you will be glad.  Keep us posted on the remainder of your progress.            ...Oldschool
