Over the next 2 years the whole car is going to be restored. Currently the hood, grille, headlight bezels, rear fin, are at the body shop getting done. Ill be purchasing most of the parts I need over this winter and next summer, also building a rotisserie, and then this time next year the car will be fully stripped, and painted. My thought is, that if i get everything I need over the winter/summer, I would only have to purchase a few things that come up after stripping the car, making it easier on the wallet during the paint/body work. My body guy needs about 8 months to go through the stripped car, which in theory, would put reassembly of the car in early spring, at which I could get the car together for summer. This is my plan, I know things come up, but you have got to have a plan right? lol
