I'm doing a home build as well, less paint and interior.

The car was in really good shape before I started, but I started finding rust here and there and decided not to cut any corners. My dad and I restored it 17 years ago, and now I'm doing round two in hopes that my son will enjoy it some day...and maybe his children.

Here's the before picture.



Here's a link to the build. I had a bad experience with body work when I first started, so I pulled the job and decided to do it myself. Let's face it. A quarter panel, rear deck filler panel and roof skin should not take 6 months! When I got the car home, I started noticing rust here and there and that's whe the snowball started. Most people would not have torn this car down as far as I did, but at least I know every crack of it will be blasted, epoxy primed, seam sealed, etc.

Enjoy!
