hello again everyone, been a while since I've posted, life's been crazy busy. Figured i would start a build post to show progress so far since my introduction. in the past few months i have scored a usable passenger door, rust free hood, new windshield, miscellaneous interior plastics and last but not least an Oldsmobile 350! The 350 will be a basic rebuild but that's in the far future. as of now i am working on sanding down the body so i can spray a couple coats of epoxy primer and buy some time to fix a few flaws. i included a few progress pics for show.

Sorry about the delay but here is an update. Painted brilliant white, and getting everything sorted and where it should be. Gonna wait to wet sand and buff until I get all the trim sorted and found (I moved midway through the project). Bought a set of jegs gauges to replace the messed up rally gauges, and I'm waiting on new door handles and a jegs dual exhaust kit to arrive. Thanks for reading!
