The engine – The engine with almost 45 years of grime! It’s amazing the car still ran! Woo hoo! Dad and I celebrating the true “start” to the restoration project on a cold February morning, 1999. Umm…This looks like more work than I was thinking. Pretty firewall! April ’99 Pretty dash! Pretty “new” engine! May 1999 – you can see some body work on the roof and door has started. Wow! Now the real fun begins – Wetsanding! Getting the fender ready – Almost time for primer. Talk about a father – daughter project! The white paint is on!I was beginning to believe we were getting close to being done. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! It’s Gorgeous!(June ’99) July ’99 – First piece of trim goes back on the car.
