Well here is the car from day 1. I pulled the front clip and started on the body. I paid $325 for the car wich it has alot of rust but all in fairly easy places other then the drivers side front frame. Here is a link to all the pics I have so far.

Thought I'd add a little info. The car was someones everday driver in Maryland. It has a 170 6cyl and was 3sp on the tree but they moved it to the floor "correctley thankfully'. The interior is originally beige but they had found a black back seat and door panels and installed them so just need to do some dash work and replace the headliner. The best part is it runs and drives just no brakes so made it easy to move around lol. Just last night going thru some old parts my dad had since the early 70's I found a PP833 18spline 4spd wich Im really excited about, saves some work.

I'm running the stock tire that left Hurst. 7.75 x 15 Power Cushion in the rear and 6.95 x 14 in the front....yes that is correct, 14" in the front and 15" in the rear.
