Looks very nice. Tell us the backstory and what it was like when you started working on it

Bought it last winter,the one day it did snow,good body,interior wrecked,under hood and exhaust a mess.
Replaced most all the interior besides the door panels and dash pad which were in very good cond.;fixed a couple of floor issues,all new exhaust,cat back system,new y-pipe etc.
Put on a pheonix graphics kit,exept for the hood chicken,haven't got that far yet,new brakes all around,new starter,fuel pump,brake lines,fuel lines,speedo drive housing,lotsa little things and trips to the parts store and a guy who parts 3rd gens in Mass.
A few details left,I'll drive it this year,next year all new seals/weatherstripping and stuff like that,my kids think they are getting their hands on it but they are dreaming.

It needs a set of B.F.Goodrich Radial T/As with the white letters to be perfect,it's registered now,I've put almsot 200 miles on it since thursday,it's doing ok for 10+ years off the road,had to fix a few fluid leaks and adjust the timing a little.
