Wow I live on the West Coast I bought this car from a shirt tail relation.We did a cosmetic eye washing when I bought it and sombody had already done the major work to the car and it had a cover coat of paint which I thought was odd at the time we were still sanding and fixing little spots on the out side that has been about six years and the last two with out driving the car to top it off it was not covered in any way. I finely started to get ambitious and put a ne gas tank and carb in the car and the old 225 fired rite up the reason it was parked the gas tank seamed to have a endless supply of dirt which left me on the side of the road several times blowing out the filter and getting it to run again. I replaced starter alt put electronic ignition in a new rear end and brand new duel exhaust then I bought a new bumper to bumper wiring harness I stared to install it and just couldnt do it I had to do the full body make over that 2 years out in the weather took its tole and in a big way it rains al0t here and close to the Pacific Ocean another 2 years and it would be a pile of rust in the drive way I crammed 6 mounts of work into 2 and I am gad to say its 85 % done and will be 100 % at he end of this week what a job and well worth it.
