Lol, it's purty under there!! Wiped a little bit off, and it looks great, almost to the point where I don't think the seats are original, but they are.

I was hoping I could get the quarters done sooner, but my friend said that there was a 'Cuda, Impala, and an SS 396 Chevelle in the way, and it would be 2 weeks or a month before he can get to me. But the employee discount sure is worth it!! Kinda disappointed, but that leaves me a month to make $500..

Glad to see you guys are interested!!!! I promise I won't disappoint you guys in the end, but it will be a long journey.. Going to clean it this weekend, and get the front clip loosed up.. Can't take it all the way off because it isn't under a cover.. Then I will take some nice pics.

That is also where most of the rot is, in the fenders. Glad that stuff is going to go!

Also, what do you guys think of the rims? Are they too "donk"? I did a little mock up, and they looked that way, but I guess I wont know until after it's painted, and can have someone photoshop it.

Holy crap, is there any place with free shipping on quarters? Or some place I can pick them up at close to houston? $160 shipping on a $170 part is ridiculous.. That will set me back like 4 weeks of work..

I will be following this thread with great interest!

My baby, soon to be sold.

That's a nice looking car.
I'm guessing it's a rare car as well?? Why are you selling it?
