The paint was bad and was going to need to be redone anyway, so I figured that I might as well take it down to the frame and re-finish everything. So, that's where I'm at...

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...

If the numbers don't match, I might upgrade to a J2 6 pack or something aftermarket. We'll see...

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.
