Hi all. New to this site and new to the resto game. This is my first time doing a resto and must say I am addicted. I am going to post before and after pics during my whole restoration and would appreciate your thoughts and ideas. Thx in advance

Here's some more before and after pics
I had it on the road for 2 months before I started tearing it down, figured that was the best way to get to know the car and get the bugs worked out
I redid the interior already including the headliner and a crap load of rewiring

Back

Pretty rough

 

[Motley]

A lot of sanding and high build primer
Also cut new opening in the hood

 

[Motley]

Not as bad. A little body filler and high build needed

 

[Motley]

Turned out ok. Need to block it yet. But at least it's in primer and protected till I get back to it

 

[Motley]

Thx for your positive comments guys. I appreciate it very much !

That engine bay cleaned up nicely, looks great. What colour is that your going with?

 

[Motley]

Thank you. It's a 71 hemi orange. Going with matte black hood, rear go wing and side stripes
