Owens Family Restoration

I have posted here a few times. I consistently view/search the forum for information and it's appreciated.

Just thought I would post some of what I have done lately. When I get time b/w work, kids and my wife I head to the garage and figure out what I can take apart without destroying. I've secured a number of people that know what they're doing and I should be able to get a lot of the bodywork and paint done for a very decent deal.

Here's where I sit so far:




I also started a blog:

Yup...that's the color. I like it a lot and always have. I have a million ideas for what to do in the end. But, for the most part I plan on keep it stock. I am torn behind doing the Q5 color and something else I want to do. I just need to go see the color in person to truly appreciate it and make a final decision.

The interior will likely be all leather. And as for the engine, there's nothing wrong with it from what I can tell and what I've had others look at. In the effort to save money, I will likely just clean it up and continue to use it.

Any and all suggestions are welcome though.

Looks good Floyd. I vote for the Q5. My dad's runner, which eventually became mine, was Q5. Loved it then and still do.

Q5 Seafoam is an awesome color my 68 was LL1 Surf Turquoise Metallic Poly very close to that too... some examples, unfortunately none were mine

I really like the Q5. I just felt like there was something missing. I found a really close color that's Gulfstream aqua metallic. But, we will see. I just need to test the color and see it in person.

Here's an example of the gulfstream aqua metallic and a link to the page selling it: http://bit.ly/1fC2cpE.

That color looks to be a little darker, but I like it.
