Thanks for the welcome. The other side of the car is identical except that the "Cutlass" script is missing. The paint and body is excellent, given the fact that it sat in the weather the first 7yrs I owned it. There is just a little surface rust on the top,
and some rust on the hood, which will go B-Buye if I can find a ram-air(W-30,W-31?) type replacement.
The only ding is just behind the passenger side door where the wife hit it with my truck door.
After the new exhaust kit and disc-brake conversion, I plan to take on the paint. As this is a daily driver I don't want to spend $3-4k on a paint job, but she deserves better than Maaco or Earl Scheibe(no dis intended). I'm hoping if I figure out the prep work myself, that will allow me to get a decent spray for $1-2k. What do you think? Here are a couple more shots(I'm hyped on these img tags)
Thanks for looking and helping!
