Exterior:

Fabricated some fill in panels behind each rear door in lower corner, and also behind rear tires each side. Also two spots where interior support framing is on each rear door in almost same spot where rust came through about 2" back of forward edge then almost center of door or about 3" above center. Had to grind out rust, prep and prime. Am still working on car and hope to paint it this coming fall. Original paint was a very light gun metal silvery blue with stick on wood panel siding. That is all removed. Interior will be next with rebuilt seats and carpet as I can afford it.
Labor of love. Sweet little A_body car. Has 278,000 miles on it over all including the engine. Engine burns a little bit of oil. About a quart every 500 miles, but there ae some leaks here and there that account for about 1/2 of that, so a pint per 500 miles is a good measure. I also use Casite Motor Honey. Nothing else, unless I want to flush the engine then will dump a quart of Rislone in it and drive about 50 miles and drop oil and filter each time, than back to what it has had all along, Valvoline 10W-40 in Summer and in winter it gets 10W-30 HD or 5W-30 HD.


Interior:
Bad shape in front, getting there in the back. Has light blue interior.


Rims/Tires:

Rally II rims with brush polished beauty rings and center caps.

Audio/Video:

None
