Very pleased with the progress, but credit goes to Cameron at Volksfab.

Roof repair was significant... F'ing cancer... Cameron at Volksfab is an OG surgeon. Driver's side roof corner sectioned in from a donor.

Major surgery is done, corners repaired, gates, roof, inner/outer rockers, wheel wells, etc. Got the DC back from Cameron, and will just drive/enjoy until I can find the funds to finish paint/body.

Moved to Texas, got all the details working again, and this baby is ready to roll until I can afford paint.

?? Question repaired wheel wells won't clear the BRMs, will my stock 15's take 195 75R15 and fit?

CSP disc conversion up front won't clearance stock rims, and rear wheel wells won't clearance BRMs with current tire. What are my tire options to run the BRM rims on the rear?

Original color was L 345 Grey.

I am debating. Re-spray original or go for something different. I don't need to make the decision until I find a painter.

New Year resolution to get moving on the project again. It has been a blast to be out driving the DC again.

Hoops / Bows / Tilt installed (garage height 6 inches lower), I will be taking it apart again to power coat the Hoops. Derek Gregg, Busware, Ken Hippensteel. All three vendors are top notch.

Hurst shifter that was in the DC when I got it. Restored by "Glandnut."

Pictures don't do the quality justice, better than what you can buy new!!

(Yes, I opted for black powder coat.)
