69 Convertible Resto mod Project

I bought my 1969 convertible in 2013. I'll put some pictures and progress on here as I can.

Most recently I used 2k Eastwood High temp engine paint to do the engine after it was built by the Coleman Brothers of Linthicum MD. Hope to install it this week.

The mess. I can't work in these conditions, i need a

Surface rust on cowl and core support was remedied with rustoleum self etching primer and krylon rust protector gloss black spray can until the whole car is repainted.

LOL.. they are never big enough, I am working in a single car garage, its tight but doable mostly I would love the luxury of another "bay" but Might as well add a spray booth, a sanding room, a clean room for assembly, etc etc etc when I finally retire I want a big azz steel building too...LOL

Here's my 3 3/8" speedhut gauges finally in the dash and lit up after soldering wires. I still have a tac to mount on the steering column.
