this was the first time after i sprayed it with good epoxy primer from a gun, the back handles were shaved but that was it at this time, the next pictures will show the entire drivers side shaved and smoothed out

 edelbrock performer manifold and 750 cfm, its a beautiful thing right? WRONG its for a 65 and newer and i bought it knowing that but i though meh how much different can they be....different enough i have to hunt for another one now! i havent had any luck finding a single four barrel intake for the pre 64 heads, so if anyone knows anywhere lemme know. aside from the obvious like auto zone or AMES pontiac

well i took her back down to bare metal since i have the shop and the tools to do it correctly. you cant really tell but i got the holes welded where the trim was and the small amounts of rust it had are welded, on this side anyway. i sand blasted the roof and pretty soon it'll be ready for some primer and bondo and soon after that she will be miller blue lol o yeah if i can get the wiring done cheap enough its getting shaved handles

this is before and after of the passenger side although i'm now done with the passenger side also and have the headlights, tailights, and grill assembly back it she is coming along pretty good, and i think she is slowly but surely taking the number one spot in my collection, this car just has tons of character, the paint was rough but the interior and metal have less wear then cars 1/4 of this ones age. no cracks in the dash, seats are persfect headliner is great, needs minor cleaning is all, basically wiped off with a wet rag and it would be ready for show...after paint that is anyway

this pictures gives a little better idea of what great shape the interior is in....find a flaw lol i would almost pay someone to point out a valid imperfection with this interior. there are almost none, it could use some new carpet but the only spot its warn in is the drivers door obviously from being used more then the rest of the car. 63k original miles ticked on the odometer, and before me it was a single owner car infact i still have the original long green North Carolina title
