64dart170 "Baby" restore thread. She wanted one too!

Hey FABO!
Well yesterday was Sunday March 20th.
1st day of spring and it was looking and feeling like it here!

Another member had asked me if Baby had her own restore thread and honestly, I am sorry to admit, I couldn't remember but I told them I thought I started one cause she was jelious of Fern.

I did a search and found us here.
1st I want to say sorry it's been so long.

She was put in the barn this winter and did not see a speck of salt and here studded snow tires were never put on! (finally)=D>

The pics so far in this thread were taken before FABO was in my life. We didn't even know you guys and gals were here. Sorry we live out in the sticks so we don't get out of the driveway much.
So the pics and format don't have the polished finished feel like the more recent restore work threads that were done and photographed while knowing they will be published here on FABO now. Also probibly not in cronological order. I see our son who owned our 69 working on Baby's floor in a few of the shots.

Alot of the members who know us , know we will not be able to afford the original seat material anytime soon. So I'll be saving up for suitable pre fab substitutes and try to install the aftermarket pre made seat covers by Aug1. We have sold 2 of our main drivers and the weather is clear now. Baby is out driving again. Although we HAVE to drive her EVERYTIME it rains now due to ABB's car not having a working wiper system.
So Baby will be getting touch up body work this year. We will also have to remove rear glass and redo some half assed rust repair I did 3 or 4 years ago. Well it wasn't all me, some half assed glass co. didn't seal the rear glass good when we had it out before so we'll be redoing this year.

I thought I would catch us up with the current pics I have of Baby. So what I have some of you have already seen. But for those FABO members who have not I'll post here now. So the most current pic and the most current technology we are using comes from our another thread here on FABO. It's a video we took for the thread called
CAR HUNT! FABOZENE:glasses2:
In the video, when we are first walking up to Baby, look at her rear pass side behind the rear tire at the rust repair we did earlier in this thread. I had some paint mixed, but the formula has been rewritten to be more generalized to be for a broader range of cars (have to go to my other paint store not NAPA) Anyway do you guys like the darker shade of "New formula" or the more faded blue-er teal of the rest of the car?
Any opinions let me kno, OK?
We'll be doing things to baby soon and I will post here when we do. Right now I'm trying to get our 74 "Lump" back out on the road again, or at least the fender back on!

Here's the vid, see ya'all soon!
