Okay, so this is going to serve as my "build" or "restore" thread. My vision for this car will likely take years considering my lack of time and money but it WILL GET DONE!
Long story short this car was basically a gift from my father-in-law. This is pretty much the car I've always wanted! She was built as a v6 Sedan but currently has a 327 that is "seized."
First things first... Motor comes out and disassembled to see what's going on with it. Hopefully just refresh the motor and stuff it back under the hood. Clean/paint engine bay while motor is out. It's got headers and full exhaust already.
I'm going to pull out the interior and probably run bare bones until I can replace what needs to be replaced. I'll likely recover the rear and replace the front seats with some lowbacks (rears original, fronts not so much).
Unless something miraculous happens between now and spring I'll probably be rocking the "patina" paint job. I'll replace all of the weather strips and put the back window in (currently sitting in the back seat).
The body on this thing is amazing and very solid. I'll try to get some underbody shots tomorrow before I drain the fluids and pull her off the trailer and into my confined working space!
