It was a /6 car with a bench seat. I rounded up parts from all over and got the seats from a guy close by who sells mopar stuff. The car started out life in California and was there all its life accept for one year in Boston. It made its way to Toronto and I bought it from the guy who brought it to Canada from California.
I had to put a new skin on the roof, pulled the /6 and dropped a 340 in, did the interior and drove it last summer. I happen to work in a really big restoration shop in Niagara Falls so I had to get it looking good and I had lots of help. Steel wheels and dog dish are next.
 
Not usually a big fan of green, but that looks real sharp.

I spent some time today putting the chrome on. It takes more time when you have to be so careful!! Disassembly is much quicker.

Thanks and yes to the dog dish question. Wheels are being painted next week. I've got some bigger wheels so the stance is going to change a bit.
