Some of the work done since I acquired it a few years ago:Full body restoration, down to bare metalNew interiorNew glassNew weatherstrippingNew period-correct wide whitewall tiresCarb (Holley) rebuildNew fuel tankNew batteryNew exhaust manifoldsNew wiper motor and wipersPeriod-appropriate seat belts (original had none)Period-appropriate side mirrorsThis is a very nice looking daily driver, which I actually drive regularly. That said, I have another car project that has been consuming most of my energy so I'm looking for a new owner to enjoy this old beast and see it through the project completion.
