Aw guys, I'd be ashamed right now. I've got a few pics that I took during the process but she's kind of like the girl at closing time. I can see what she WILL look like but right now better keep the lights down low.

I don't have a shop of my own so I had to do alot of prelim stuff outside and when my buddy has an open bay I have to bust my @ss to get as much done as I can and roll it out when he says so. Boy, I spent the last 13 yrs in Fl which made it seem even colder working during last winter and it's cold enough tonight to freeze the bearings off a #ord.

Right now she is still what I call "turkey turd brown"...that lovely brownish gold crap from the factory. BUT I promise when I get primer on it, I will show you that "you can cover a ton of *hit with a gallon of paint."

A glimmer of progress from this early this summer before the rear suspension was done...ps any body people want to be adopted 'cause I sure could use ya :yawinkle:

THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR VERY KIND WELCOME!

from the Eastern Shore of Maryland...a very happy new year to you all.

A lot of cars on this site started just like yours (or much worse) olskool, so don`t feel like you`re alone. I`m in Virginia and I`ve done two cars outside. Although it`s not the optimum way to restore a car, the winter`s are not so bad here. For a few months it`s a little slow and then it`s right back to work again. I think you`ve got a great foundation to start with. I look forward to seeing your progress pictures.

Welcome to the greatest A Body site on the internet olskool! You've already noticed no one here is going to bash you for less-than-concours appearances, so kick off your boots and make yourself at home. Looks like a really cool car too ... I can see a little smile on her face showing she's glad to be getting some attention again. Stay inspired and keep us posted on your progress. It's going to be one sweet beast shortly.

Welcome to FABO olskoolmopar! Looks like a great project you've got yourself there, good luck with the build.

There are some kids on the site, but most aren't rich. Some of us are older with families and are forced to work on a budget. Not too many store bought cars on this website. A lot of diamonds in the rough.

ALL of us are good people that will help you out anyway we can with your project. Good luck and keep us posted.
