I enjoy these threads - My ft end should be back on the ground this weekend - finishing my long delayed rebuild. Mine has a lovely patina too!

To the OP, your car looks pretty tough with the black steel wheels and the white letter tires. Does your car still have the fender tag? I'm always curious about the build date, options and factory location. Mine's a pretty plain Swinger - AM radio and tint strip across the front window is about it. SPD 505.
