    Top is painted white. It has a small dent in the rear quarter on the other side but it is a fairly decent car.No cowl leaks and very little rust so all in all its a nice car. also getting a dash pad and grille with it. grill is good on it but pad has one crack in it.

    small bumper

    I decided to go ahead and put a small bumper I had tucked away on it . Still gotta find a valance though. I couldnt believe the weight of the big bumper.I bet it weighs 200 lbs.

    Yep!


    When I started my resto, I thought I would need new springs. No more big bumpers, no more spring sag.

    Tim, if you still need ginger/tan door pulls, I may have some. I did have some that I took out of a donor car. I'm not sure if I sold them or not.

    Nice looking purchase!
