There was definitely more rust than expected but as he finds it he fixes it.

Looks like a great project,, I,m going to enjoy following this effort and watching the Build happening,,, Catfish-65
 
Ok, it’s been a while since I have updated this garage. I have made progress on the car.

It has been dropped if for a full restoration. I wanted to Tackle it myself but that just isn’t going to happen with me moving every few years for my job.

It’s at a shop and was chem dipped to remove all of the crap that was on the car (rust, filler, undercoating, truck bed coating, oil, Wood).

I also located a donor car for all of the body panels to help the massive amount of repairs.

Most of the damage is only on the rear of the car so, that’s what I found.
