OK I will try and post a start to finish on this project. I have been working on it on and off for the last 24-36 months..

 

The Car was bought in Las Vegas and brought back to Tulsa for the restoration and upgrades. I bought the car from a guy in Vegas that called his buisiness Rust Free Cars, and he was supposed to specialize in older hard to find cars that were "Rust Free".. Now I had a buddy look the car over for me a week prior to making the drive out to pick up the car. He was no expert but he thought all the trouble spots I described were OK. The car had been repainted and it was a junk paint job, there was a serious problem of delamination. So when I got the car home to Tulsa I started the tear down. Here we are 3 years later, after having to replace almost the entire passenger side of the car due to 2 accidents and more rust than I care to think about. So once again you can't always judge a book by the cover, know what you are getting short of stripping the paint off before you buy anything.
