A few pictures of the insanity

Decided to share a few pictures of what happens when your car is stuck in the garage all winter. You start finding small things to fix end it never ends!! Hope I can get it finished in time to drive it this summer. I figured by posting some pictures I'll motivate myself to finish this and have some fun driving it this year. Don't know how to post a lot of pictures so I'm trying the photobucket thing that I have seen others use.

If anyone want to discuss what was done to repair the windshield header and dashboard area that was rotted I would be happy to share more pictures and where the sheet metal came from.

Well back to the garage to paint more brackets........

I would love to have a winter that looks like that!!! Up here you'd freeze your knackers off doing some of that work, unless you have a large oversize heated garage.

Great looking photos. Looks like you got your hands full. Better to find all that ugly rust now and get it taken car of than let it creep further into the car. That windshield area rust looks horrible. Good to see new metal going in. Looking forward to the pics.

We only had a few nice days recently. Most of the winter was spent standing in front of the torpedo heater. wasn't much camera action in the sub zero days, lens would fog up whenever I took it into the garage
I do live in Buffalo

here's a few images of what it looked like after we wet sanded and buffed the previous owners garage paint job last summer. Other than the color it didn't come out to bad. Note the "super rare" custom towing package (if the car could only talk) I think that towing package option makes it a 1 of 1 worth a million dollars.

Offers being accepted. remember it's a 1 of 1, the only one, no other like it in the world (huh, I have heard this before somewhere)
