My car was originally rebuilt in the late fall of 2000.
I bought it from a guy in Ft Collins Colorado.
It went from this
New passenger quarter panel, reproduction front fenders, replaced the headlight and tail light buckets on the passenger side, new stone shield, door hinges rebuilt, replaced all the front suspension parts, new carpet, had the front seats reupholstered and new cushions installed, replaced the dash bezels, replaced the window regulators, replaced the '68 window crank handles with '67 units, replaced the vent window rubber gaskets. I picked up the rims from a used rim dealership in Denver, I replaced a bunch of the chrome bits like emblems and door handles, and the whole car was painted back to its original color of Wimbledon White. I had all the body work and paint done by a retired police officer who lived in LaPort CO, and have no pictures of the paint job process.
And ended up with this.
At the same time I also replaced the cam, intake, and carb with Edelbrock Performer parts.
I used the factory holes and installed aftermarket 3pt seatbelts, and swapped in a much smaller diameter aftermarket steering wheel.
And since then, its been pretty much drive it and repair as necessary.
This is what it looks like this Spring after 15 years of driving, and by driving, I mean my wife put on 13k miles last year alone and we have to drive on 1.5miles of gravel to get to my house.
