well, here we are after 2 years. The paint job was a journey into the twilight zone and the rediculous. A friend did the bodywork and welding, but could only work on Saturdays, so it took a while. The body is about done. A local gunsmith poished all of the trim and I had the wheel moldings powder coated. Interior is next and I hope to be on the road by May. It has the standard 71 off white interior, but I am going with white interior and recovering in a gran coupe type pleat. I know, not factory, but I like it better. steering column is getting painted and I am replacing all of the wiring. I am dreading replacing the dash harness, but we will persevere and triumph. Thanks to this forum for the help. The information, advice and posts are priceless. It is difficult to put a car together without a map and sometimes pictures just do not answer the question.
