I'm going to call this car "The Keeper" in honor of the man I'm buying it from! It should be ready for me to pick up sometime in Janurary or Feburary of 2013. I am so proud and honored to be buying a car from "the510keeper". Hopefully James and Victory can post some pics during the prep and paint process! . 1 Link to comment

the510keeper Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Actually i have had this car longer then any, nice to see it going to a good home. The pics i took of "The Keeper" 13 years ago, before it was gutted, were all hard copies, I will have to see if I can locate them Tossed the factory blue fender years ago. 12 years a go if a fender had a dent, it got tossed. We are changing out fenders to 68-69, and shaving the rear lights (68? :) ) 1 Link to comment

Right one Stripped and sanded, Couple small areas at the bottom cut out and replaced Left one Small imperfections across the top, floated the complete area with a thin coat of mud welded the rocker molding hole up, after sand blasting the complete lower area of surface rust checking for rot ready for metal loc Link to comment
