I hesitate in posting because it's not cleaned up too good and it's covered in swirl marks from compound buffing, I havent polished yet, which will remove the swirls. I ran it down the road yesterday, I have a syncro issue in the trans from 2nd to 3rd that I will have to work on, other than that she did fine. I'm working on the exterior trim now, once that goes on the rest of the interior can go in. Something clever here.

The nice even body panel gaps have been clear to see in your previous pictures, but filming this bad boy out in the sun really lets the reflections show off the flat and true sheet metal. Great work! Oh, and I avoided looking closely at the reflection of you in the paint -- I recall that you always work in the nude to avoid paint scratches caused by a belt buckle or a button. Guys, you have been warned! John

I would not have picked a car from that era as having this kind of potential for being sharp looking after a good restoration. That car just SPEAKS to a man.

Please, keep posting photo's of what you are working on. The toughest thing about doing nothing is knowing when you are finished?
