Pays to have a friend that is a retired paint & body guy. He checked the car out with me. He refuses to paint cars any more, but his knowledge is invaluable when shopping for cars like these.
Got the car pretty cheap. Funny enough, I still paid about $300 more than the sticker price in 1970 (it was on the title).
The build will go in spurts. Basically as time and $$$ permit.
