Hope this inspires...
I picked this car up about two years ago and this is quick pictorial of the progression since this. The last picture is current as of two weeks ago.
To give you an idea of what has go on, I have replaced the drivers side floor (front and back), drivers side rear frame rail, trunk, pulled some dents out of the passenger door, and replaced the transmission hump with one for a manual transmission. I have ground all the crappy rivited patch panels out from the passenger quarter, rear tail panel, drivers quarter, drivers rocker panel, drivers wheel well, and firewall. Then all that was patched with fabricated patch panels or replacement sheet metal. Everything was butt welded and ground down. Then of coarse the regular body work. Over the last two years, I have probably worked 30% of the weekends to get where I am at. It has given me time to accumulate parts I know I will need and/or stock pile money for the big dollar items. Over the last two months things have really started to speed up and now I just don't want to stop. I have very little body work that needs to be done (waiting on a new underhood brace for the shaker conversion to finish the hood. Wasn't happy with the cheap one and getting one from Harms), but none that will stop me from putting parts on the car. That is so much more fun!
