That is going to be a quick build to make it to MCACN this year. Looks like a solid car and that helps alot with time.

Awesome
I would have been tempted to clean it up and drive it as an original survivor car.

However, best of luck with the resto. Ambitious time line.

The front grill was repainted with sem stain paint and dull grey. Both were great matches.

Here are a few pictures of the frame. Surface rust should sand blast off. Took three hours for 3 man crew.

primer
Going to keep fire wall original with all the markings, also not going to sand blast under the car. Spot paint where needed. My goals are a day two restoration. Going to restore all original components. Trying to keep the price down and enjoy driving the car.

Nice to see an update!!!! Beautiful!! Is that the factory code 53 Nassau Blue? love the color. Are you adding stripes? A guy I went to high school with back in the late '70s had a '69 W31 holiday that was Nassau blue with white stripes,he also had cragars on it. It was one stunning car!!!(it ran as good as it looked!!)

Looking good! Are the wheels the "proper" Argent? If so, how/where did you get the color code, etc.?
