Nice job! What sorta shape was it in when you started? What kind of side view mirror is that on your fender? Something mid-sixties?

It just needed a good cleaning and the parts i installed on it and it needs a few more little things and tires.Rear view mirror is new and the side mirrors,really not sure what they are ,but i have seen something like them on the net,black not chrome.(about 60's)..The person i got it from had new brakes,drums,wheel and master cyl,and all the lines replaced and tie rods done.I would like to find the rear light housings in chrome again..Here are a few pics when i picked it up..

Dan, Google "Talbot mirrors". Common 'late 60's.

Grady, You switched out the seats, no? What are they?

From the top shot on the trailer, looks like it wants for wider rear tires. ..presents well. Congrats.

Jim
