NICE GP!! i like it! my paint is really crappy as well..🙁 Your ride looks solid though! what are your plans?

At this point I’m going to restore the interior and see how the paint buffs out. I’m a sucker for original paint. I have been over this car with a fine tooth comb and find no bondo. The paint looks to be rare as it has the stripe that is the same color as the upper paint and not the bottom as most.

But things can always change.

Polished up.

I got the interior put back together I still need to get a stereo or head unit or what ever they call them these days, I think I like some of the JVC stuff.

The little Olds motor was replaced with a long block back in 06 and has 20 thou on it. Has good oil pressure, 80 cold and 60 hot at a idle. I'll run it for awhile. Some of the under hood stuff will be sand blasted and I'll squrt some of Eastwoods under hood black at it, but for now it will just be stock.
