A car that has been in the family forever.....my father-in-law has had it since the 70's. Has undergone several restorations, and paint jobs. The car was even rolled at one point!!!! Now, she is undergoing a full facelift. She is being stripped down to the bare bones. She will be media blasted for starters. Then all the rust will be repaired. Right now I know she needs left and right floor pans. A-pillars, rear shock mounts, and some minor things here and there. The engine runs, but the rings are toast. She blows oil straight out the tail pipe. So the engine will be completely rebuilt. Bored to next oversize...currently bored at least once already, so it'll need to be checked and measured before I get pistons for her. Head rebuilt, and possibly mildly ported. Mostly cleaning up casting imperfections, and improving port radiuses. Nothing major. She currently has a hotter cam installed, along with a knock off Weber downdraft. There's a chance that the carb will be replaced with possibly a Weber 45DCOE. Then a performance header will be installed.

As far as the suspension goes, the front will stay the way it is. For the rear I am pondering a four link setup with coilovers. Space is limited, so there are several options that I am calculating on right now. More to come on that. Once the rear end is out, and the rust damage has been fully assessed, I know how to proceed.

The interior will be treated to a set of new carpets, and a good cleaning. A new set of seat sliders will be installed on the current seats. Repair, and paint, or possibly wrap the dash.

As far as the body goes....she will remain red. However a different shade of red. Most likely the same candy apple red that I just laid down on Kyle's bike. House of Kolor Kandy Apple Red over Pagan Gold metallic base.

Pictures will be uploaded overy so often. As I progress throughtout the project.
