These pictures were taken during the repaint. As you can see very little body work was done. The hood had a small dent in the front passenger corner, and you can also see that those two panels are not original, as once they were sanded their original blue paint became visable. We decided not to repaint it two tone as it was from the factory, instead going with a solid white to match our 1960 coupe.

Sanding and body work.

Excellent work bringing this beauty back to life. I gotta say I much prefer the flat roofline of the 4dr hartop over the curved roofline 2dr hardtop. I think it is much more fitting with the straight edge of the fins. Thanks for showing! :)
