Great job, keep on keepin on man. I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

What about the mechanical stuff, motor, steering, drive train? Is there a lot of work in those? Or is this mostly a body treatment restoration? PS. Low lift and large trunk looks doable for dead deer transport. Save an elk, shoot a cow.

So, I'm getting rid of the rot and the 70's acid trip paint job and putting things back how they were. Maybe a little better than new as far as paint goes. Something clever here.

I remember when I was a kid and all the rebuilt cars that would cruise the strip in Ely on Friday and Saturday nights. Quite a collection it was. Seems like it continues. It also got me hooked on 1950s pickups. Eventually, I bought a '56 F250 with a straight 6 and it was a great truck - all 7 different colors of house paint not withstanding. But I learned that I wasn't one to want to wrench on it every weekend, so I sold it a few years later before it busted all my knuckles and my kidneys. Save an elk, shoot a cow.

That may be a T5 or an orange, a photoshopper could tweek it. But I wont do the black stripes, I can't find any evidence of them originally being on my car and IMO it would get too busy with bronze/black/white Was on an errand the other day and saw this, and immediately thought of you, ND. Actually turned around to pull in and take a couple of phone pics for you. Forgot about them until now. My dream ride is a '69 Charger R/T. Some day. Thanks for keeping the dream alive, and bringing us along on these labors of love, Dave.
