So today we traded her 66 for this 62 hardtop. The plan is to have it done by her birthday next March
Her vision:
Here's the 62, actually a 12/61 build
It's dirty but it is complete, has the OG 40hp that isn't locked up
While she still had the 66 she bought this coach wheel
The car was hit in the front hard at some point in its life, but put back on the road and not baja'd
Has some random rust spots, it does need pan patches but I will probably end up doing full pans
I will post updates and pics as frequently as I can
Thanks for looking _________________ Dad's 4/55 Oval

So while we were working on the trade I started to make a vert lid for her car.
The deck lid I stared with was pretty beat but i think I managed to fix it
Started as
First cut
First vent welded
Second cut and vent placement
Second vent welded
Done and now in the process of doing bodywork

Not to huge of an update but we pulled it out to strip it.
Got the replacement door section sorted out
Jazz drew these sweet vines on the hood
More updates soon, stripping the car to bring down to my tech school to bodywork and paint.. _________________ Dad's 4/55 Oval
