Sounds like you have some experience with this type of thing. Originally I planned on trying to do it myself but after seeing the more extensive rust than I thought I may just save my pennies up and let a pro do it.

 

this is actually my first rebuild. i have done alot of reading on how people set up the chassis on their own cars, so i am pretty confident in doing the work. i should have more pictures of my screwed up car tomorrow.
thanks for all the comments,

more pictures... i found that piece of white metal in my basement. it looked like it would fit the rear frame rails perfectly so its being used to brace everything while i trailer it over to the garage ill be using to fab all of the stuff that will be on the car.

i finally found evidence of the original color, the camera altered the actual color of the package tray though. is frost turquoise a rare color by any chance?

from the looks of the car, i can be fooled by a new carpet and decent looking seats. ohh well this is fun.

thanks for looking,
carl

Hey that trunk floor looks good....keep up the good work!

 

Still looks infinitely better than my 71... Keep weldin... kinda like a computer, cut and paste, cut and paste...

 

i guess ill use this thread to post all my pictures as i go along. today, after 6 hours, the cowl lid finally came off. everything looks pretty bad inside, but a sandblast and some sheet metal can fix that.

what do you guys think about that color scheme on the lid? i think it would look better with a darker shade of red.

thanks for looking,
carl

I really like that tire tool for a shifter.

 

me too, it feels pretty sloppy though.
