Thanx to everyone, especially Carl and Amy who sold me the car. They are wonderful people. The car was delivered on Thursday afternoon and I spent Friday examining the car as I had not seen it for long and was interested in assessing it. The car has everything , even a seized engine that I knew about in advance> I spent Saturday compounding the paint as it had 40 years of weather on it and got half of the car done. It isn't PUUURRRRFect but it did clean up nicely and I am going to leave it as patene color and will NOT repaint it. Th is is an original car in every way.
Monday comes with new tires as the originals don't really hold air well anymore and the rest of the body gets done this week.
The car goes to the garage in a few weeks where we will remove the engine and trans and will go for a rebuild. The car comes back home to restore all of the necessary evils like brake and gas lines, suspension etc. By the time the engine is done, I hope to have the rest completed as well
I will try to keep everyone in the loop till the car is actually on the road...thanx to all
