Looks like a solid car. Good luck with the resto !!!

First off, pictures will be added tomorrow but progress thusfar
Began to reinstall right header and found that the already installed left side one was missing both gaskets so i had to remove it, go get some gaskets and then in the process decided to sand and paint them cause they were quite rusty.
So one header is in place and needs to be tightened and the other i ready to go back on...
thats it so far

I'm going to eventually need a new tail light panel on my coupe too. Someone apparently thought it'd be smart to fill a little area that had rusted out under one of the tail light lenses with bondo rather than actually fix the problem. It's strange because the same area rusted on both sides but nothing else (that I know of).

Looks like a worthy project! How are the frame rails/subframes looking? A good cleaning and mediablasting, then it's possible to judge it.

[Blinkrazy]

Nice project, you've got your work cut out for you.

Hard to tell but it looks like your run-of-the-mill 8" rear.

Took her out of the driveway today and she decided to have a blow out on the way back... luckily only one of the dryrotted pieces of shit decided to participate... now she sits

[Blinkrazy]

Turns out that under all the gunk, there were some mach 1 wheels'... well they got new rubber today as well as i got my dash pad back from getting dyed and my mach seats from being recovered..
interesting note---- the shop actually had original fabric leftover from 1969 in his warehouse... guess thats what happens when hes been around since like 1920 or something thought it was pretty cool
oh well all she needs now is the seats and belts to be put in, plus i need to track down a door... almost there!!!!
