Well I've been swamped with work for the past month so not much has gotten done. However I had to move the car from my friends yard because the city busted him for all the cars without plates. So since I had the car at my house thought I'd get all the junk and extra parts out of the trunk and organized a little.
Here she is at my house. Obviously no body work done yet.
The people at advanced auto gave me some boxes, I had to stop by there and get some lead substitute for the gas tank.
Ready to start working on.
I found this neat oil cap, thought I'd put it on, I have about 3 of these.
I decided to get the heater vents out of the way, and since they're already just hanging there I'll just take them out.
All gone.
Day is done, and since I dont have a plate for her, she goes under the covers.
I plan to start on the brakes soon, get a good jack set and start looking things over and find out what she needs. I shall keep you all updated as soon as I get more work done.
How many steps to heaven, Doc?

indeed, make sure you get some white wall tires.
Looks like quite the project vehicle above, best of luck.
Have a good one,
Justin
You and those cragars borsty, yeah she'll need tires later and they will be white walls.
But probably not cragars, they would look silly on my car.

Nice! I just saw one yesterday completely restored!
What brand car cover is that? I was just wondering because I need a good quality car cover because I will be moving my Camaro out of the garage this winter.
Tribals: I have no idear who makes the cover, it came with the car. In the front it says "budge" thats all I know.

Bringing this back from the dead. This work was done almost a year ago, stupid crap has happened and she sat for almost a year. I got her back and will be working on her again. Totally stoked to get working on her, the day I got her brakes done was the day I met my now Fiance'
Proud Pappa
I have her at my folks house right now since they live a few blocks away and I can actually work on it and my father couldn't figure out "Why did you get rid of the door handles?"

...Ah, metaphysics.
I cant find any of my old originals from this thread but heres one from awhile
I know its been awhile because my 90 Towncar is in the back and that was some time ago.

You should get the headlight rings chromed and paint the top half around them black to kind of give them a floating appearance. Hubcaps look neat, I got an old Chevy one from the 40's or 50's, Oldsmobile one from the 60's& a full set of Plymouth ones from my great uncles '63 Fury, they'll never make hubcaps like those again for new cars.
How she stands today after sitting for so long, she starts up just fine but I need to replace the U-Joints to get her driving again.
