The trick to a project like this is to pick at it every day
Wether 5 minutes or 5 hours the idea is to move forward

^Amen, you pick a lot faster than I do Ive been picking for about 4 years now and not close to finished granted I’m doing absolutely everything myself with the help of my brother but to watch you start this project and finish is both admirable and heartbreaking haha I will get there eventually, loved following your build, love the w-31’s so this was especially fun to watch you bring back to life, amazing work, amazing car hope mine turns out half as nice I’ll be happy! 1972 cutlass convertible Viking blue white interior is my project

That's an amazing restoration job. Well done sir. A column shift and bench seat adds to the sleeper factor (for those who have no idea what "W31" stands for).
