    Hello from Winnipeg! I've been on here for about a year now, and I've decided that I need to post my progress! I've got a 69.5, with just 39k on it! It has the original 200, but of course I'm swapping it out for a 302 out of a 76 comet! Here's a few pictures of my progress so far, I hope you guys think it looks up to par!

    Here's what it looked like the day i bought her!

    After a few months of sanding, welding, some bondo, and other fab work!

    Gave her a nice bath, getting ready for primer!

    Very first coat of primer!

    Rinse, wash, repeat!

    & Finally! Paint is all layed on, decided to go with a satin black! Now to sit for a couple weeks to let the paint cure!

    When I have more time i'll put up some pictures of my engine and what's going in/on it! It's still a work in progress, there's plenty that I would love to do, but of course, money is hard to come by. :rolleyes::drive:

    I like it. A nice set of wheel will really set it off. (y)
