This is one of those stories that has to be told

The car came to us not looking great but not bad

As we started the tare down, the assumed condition became very clear.

as the clues started to show up

and more clues.

Once the car came back from the blasters, the guess work was over.

some one really did a lot of hide work.

There wasn't a panel on it that was in sound shape

As you look through the next photos, what would you do if this was your car.

this owner stood behind this car a stuck with the commitment to make it right.

That is an amazing thing when think about it.

Knowing that everything, I mean everything needed to be serviced.

Serviced or replaced.

Replaced or made.

Made because reproductions are not available

And that was with what we could see.

No telling what was lurking under the surface.

Most of the issues associated with supers can be fixed with reproduction parts

The inner rocker is not one of them.

If the inner rocker is rusted out, that requires massive hours of fabrication work to make right.

Here we seam sealed the stitch welded floors

We use tape to keep the seam sealer clean on the edges

Once the tape is removed the seam sealer looks very nice

Now that the sealer is dry, its time to texture the floors

The floors were textured in body color.

Looks so much better then it did when we started.

It has been years since the car ran, the heater core was a home for an animal for some time.

The car has a 2 liter motor and it was decided to have GTA lower grill installed to help cool the motor.
