I'm relatively new to FABO. For those who care to look, my intro thread: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=96644
I'm taking a bit of liberty by calling this a “resto” but running restoration just sounds right. What this is in actuality is a budget refurbishing to produce a reliable, decent looking daily driver that I can take to cruise nights and be proud of. To help keep costs down, and also to be able to say “I did it,” I'll be doing everything myself. Literally – I have even mounted my own tires.
Here is my starting point. It is an original one-owner SoCal car with absoloutely no perferation anywhere. Obviously it is weathered, and the paint on the horizontal surfaces has burned away, resulting in surface rust. But looking past the ugly skin, it's a really good candidate.
