Evening all,
From south of Jackson, Michigan. I just got my first classic and I'm pretty proud of her. The guy I got it from had the vehicle already stripped down and painted back to its original monotone white 5 years ago. From that point on, it basically sat without seeing any daylight, until last Saturday when I purchased it. Sure I have a big undertaking in the fact that I have 90% of the parts in totes from the original owner, less the engine and transmission.
It was originally a slant 6, so it has the lighter rear end. My plan is to put a 440 with a nice trans to match. I'm still wading through the boxes of stuff that came with the car.
The seats are 10/10 with no scuffs, tears or rips. The glass all around is good. New carpet (in a box)So as you can see from the pics, I'm building it from the ground up. I have lots of new parts for it from the previous owner, dash, headlight bezels, chrome work. Will be thoroughly searching these forums for any hints tips and good advice to help the build on the way. I'm going to list it as a 2 year project as money doesn't flow as easy as I would like it to LOL
How you see it is within 5 mins of off loading it from a trailer, complete with 5 years worth of dust it had collected.
