   I got the OK from momma and spent another 400 bucks on the parts I still needed   :money: should have em for the 1st week of april when I have about 12 days off to devote to the car. Thanks for the reassurance he had a heart attack not too long ago and had to have a stint put in not too long after they found the pollup. He is doing well right now! I wish I could download his auto info from his brain all of it. The man knoes alot and can fix restore just about anything Great Mentor.

Hey the project is looking great. I just read through the whole thread and it's good to hear of another NWerner. I'm in Damascus OR. When are you planning on having her back on the road?

My plan is to have her running this summer after she is running and I have enjoyed her for a while I will remove the back glass, remove the rear seat again, remove all of the trim, strip the exterior paint cept driver side QP, Instruction from jedi master on Body work ,repair wheel well and replace quarter panel drivers side if needed,then paint the car some time after may use Cody's booth if the option is still open. She is definately going to be a driver!! :bigsmile: That is the goal anyways.
