1958 Holiday 88, Four Door Hardtop...

Okay, here's my project. I have some more pics to download but here are some older ones, to give you an idea of the condition.

IMG_2220.jpgNice shot of the Tag. 63-63 is Sandstone paint, inside and out...

Nice interior shot. As far as I know, those are original floorpans. Amazing condition, considering...

IMG_2216.jpgThe rear section of the interior...

IMG_2218.jpgHere's a shot of my 371 CID olds, which was originally equipped with the single 2bbl carb. Very easy and cheap to work on/replace. Doesn't do much for performance or looks, though...

Long projects and long distance, you have a lot to overcome. Keep at it and you'll be done someday. Good luck and keep the pictures coming.

The Car looks to be pretty solid bummer to have to drive so far to work on it.
