No, I guess I took to long posting the question...
I do see the images now.
Will other images be uploaded? Maybe of the outside of the car?

Great Pictures Dave...keep em comin..  Am I correct in assuming that stuff like the trunk weather-strip will NOT be removed, only cleaned in place to preserve the exact original location and glue squeeze-out? Or.....will you remove everything and re-do it exactly so that the glue will have the correct "NEW" yellow appearance and not the 38 year brownish yellow colour? I like the fuel filler as well...I would just leave it alone, looks new to me

original cars are cool, and such a case study
alot can be learned and in this case preserved
the remnants of the tag is cool in itself
but its interesting to see how the paint stayed on the water pump better than it did the inner housing
im sure youll do a great job again, and enjoy yourself during this process, this is supposed to be a learning experience, fun and rewarding

What exactly bothers you about posting subjects that might be interesting or educational to others? Since you made the inaccurate statement, how about substantiating it with some form of quoted proof. Please find and copy ONE comment where I have EVER said that "My stuff is the best" or "our team of guys do the best cars ever" or "I am so great come worship me" or ANYTHING even close to that type of arrogance. As a matter of fact, I will pay you $10,000 if you can find ANY words that I have ever made saying that the work we do is even "good". I think once you waste your time with that exercise, you will realize the problem lies somewhere with you!

Dave Walden, I and others are looking forward to this project. If we do everything right we will be able to document all aspects on how this A-Body was assembled and how it is restored. By choosing a very nice and extremely original car to begin with we hope to leave doubt and controversy out of the project. This car is nice - but not perfect due to age and 10,000 miles. Yes the tires (and virtually everything) are original but no longer in the condition it was in when it left the plant in April 1970. We strive to bring it back to that level. Stay tuned - we will do our best to entertain and share. Dave W.- should I air up this front tire?  Dave

Would this car happen to be the 1970 red 340 Duster that came out of California recently?
No.

Looks like this car will be a new surviver.Small amount of paint blending and freshen up the rest of the car.No restoration needed (good as it gets?) 
**This car will still require a tremendous amount of time and artistic effort to end up with the desired results. ALL the bare metal will have to be reconditioned to look like new. The engine will have to be pulled and repainted to look like new again. The transmission will have to be detailed to look like new. The engine bay, K Frame, Rear End Housing, Power Steering Unit, Trunk, etc…. will have to be repainted to look like new again. The reoccurring theme here is “like new again.” I personally do not like the looks of a 40 year old survivor vehicle. While they are very nice, they do not look NEW. I enjoy making them look like factory fresh without the final result looking deliberate or “home made.”**
Here is what I wrote in an earlier thread Steve. It will need a lot of TLC to look new again. You will need to see it (when you get back) before we get going on it.

I'm thinking it's a 70 Valiant 4dr, black with blue interior, 6cyl auto....
I'm glad someone has the power to un-lock this thread....It's just getting good 
I had Tom unlock it yesterday. Excellent observation on the type of vehicle Alan! (So really now, who tipped you off?)
