starting to look like a car again.

Burnin up the road in that runner.

Wow! that is so awesome!
I hope after all of that work that the car doesnt become a "museum" type because of the cost of the resto.
Hopefully the owners will get their "BEEP!" on and burn up some road in that runner.

This one is definitely going to be driven. Got 2 more hard tops coming in right behind it.

Wow, I admire the resolve a person must have to go this far to save a car. Superb job Grashopr! Keep the pics coming.

nice job grasshopper,

it's looking great with all {or most all} the rot/rust gone...
That car would have to have allot of sentimental value to make it worth it {got laid for the 1st time, won your 1st race or if it was a Hemi car}
to replace almost every sheet metal part/panel on it, like you guys have...

Keep up the great work

Been a while, but we are getting there... almost done with all of the structural stuff.. replaced the frame rails, floor pan, fixed the firewall, wheelhouses, sail panel, rear window opening, trunk opening, and rockers. Got both quarters all the way on, rust-proofed interior of both rockers, all frame rails, inside of 'hidden' areas in the C-pillar, and got some of the interior painted... Almost ready for bodywork on the skin..

The bigger the job, the bigger the satisfaction. Thanks for saving another one!

That's a lot of work and looks awsome. That's good to see another one coming back to life.

Gotta admire your skillz! You guys seem to know what is going on with all that. Everything looks great. Wish I had the scratch to do mine. I've got the itch - just don't have the scratch!
