I bought this car off Hudson late last fall and have been making a bit of progress between waiting for parts and other issues.
Car is an original matching #'s 340, 4 speed, axle pkg car. A few slight modifications will be made to better performance however I think the only holes that will be drilled will be to install the factory rear sway bar.
I bought the car as a painted shell but with almost all the parts to complete it. I had a slight mishap bringing the car home from Seattle and this is a shot of the car coming back from the bodyshop after the damage to the rear stripe on the trunklid and quarter had been repaired. I had made the car rolling at this point obviously.

Big stress day today as it was finally warm enough to do the rad support and cowl blackout. It's not easy scuffing nice paint to duplicate the mess that the factory did.

Sheldon

Two sets of wheels will be in order, the date coded 15X7 rallyes and a set of day 2 Torq Thrusts, unfortunately the 8.5's will not fit without putting a B-body rear axle in, I'll stick with 15X7's.

Sheldon

The 7's. Too narrow but I want the car to be pretty original.

Sheldon

Yeah the parts are everywhere at this point.

Sheldon

Underneath obviously, still have to mount the rear sway bar.

Sheldon

Still have to restore the column, it was just in temporary to move the car to the bodyshop. Pedals are done.

Sheldon

Cowl blackout.

Sheldon

Car is super dusty, I have to blow it off and then roll it out for a wash pretty soon. It was filthy as the roads were a mess when we moved it back from the bodyshop, but with no way to clean it without scratching it.

Sheldon

Yup, that's a firewall all right.

Sheldon

Cowl again, the Coronut lends encouragement, she's glad she will be getting only half the abuse pretty soon.

Sheldon

It's a manual, 11 inch drum car. I changed it up to the big rotor setup.

Sheldon

Another shot of the defaced orange paint on the rad support.

Sheldon

Not all the coatings are right and that's okay in my book. I want it easy to clean after being driven in the rain.

Sheldon

Again.

Sheldon

Headliner should be going in tomorrow, looks like I have to add a bit more insulation first.

Sheldon

Interior is almost ready to go in. I still have to go through the dash and the heaterbox. Everything else is pretty much ready to go. Yeah the stuff is taking over the house right now.

Sheldon

Engine and driveline stuff in this room.

Sheldon

Body and trim stuff in this room. I also have a semi trailer filled with stuff (not much for this car) and a 20' container filled with E-body stuff but it's getting sorted out and I'll be ready to sell the seconds pretty soon now.

Sheldon

The compressor and bead blaster have been getting a workout lately.
