I have a ton of reference photos. I think this needs to be moved to a different sub forum (Restoration). Anyway on to reference pics.

Well, I would say now that you've opened it up it looks very good. Alrighty then, we'll be watching. It's a resto thread now as requested. :)
 
And last Monday it went to blast tech in Denver. And next Monday it goes to body.

Thanks for watching and responding. Lmk if you have any Q's or want any more pics. I'll be trying to keep this updated.

Looks great. From your first concerns i knew that body wasnt hurt. You made the right choice. Money is no object when we're talkin' about your first ride.

BTW is it gonna stay the granny green/gator green combo, or do you have plans to change the interior/exterior color to something different.

Looks awesome. I think you have made a great choice. I think most of us remember our first car and would love to have it today. Keep up the good work. I've been working on my 65 barracuda formula S for 5 years
Hope this is the year I will be able to apply the new paint and begin the reassembly.

When I bought the car, in high school, I wanted to change the color. I hated the baby poop green. Over the years it's grown on me. I don't know why, but I really can't think of changing the color anymore. Maybe because everyone seems to go from a color like this to a high impact or some new trend.

I'm going to keep the exterior and interior original colors. But the TT1 avocado may get a lite pearl over it. Losing the vinyl top and going smooth top though.
 
Very nice work! And a great looking car too, it's got a few little things but I think at this point they all do.

Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:
