trying to keep it mostly stock, bring it back to the way she was when she rolled off the showroom floor. except for the color,and wheels, thinking about a dark red, but thats a long ways away yet, i got to get it to run first. proboably a battery,plugs, oil change, fuel filter, clean the carb, she should start right up.

Very nice! From the pictures it looks like it's pretty solid in all the important places. That will be a blast to work on and make showroom again.

That mutherf#cker's rough all right. It's still in the coal mine.

Looks like a 4-6 year project. Reminds me of a '57 we did a frame-off resto on.
