Most of you guys know I picked this up but I thought I would get a build thread started on it. Apparently these double door, swivel seats are very rare (didn't know until I got it home) so I'll probably just get her back on the road as a stockie for now. Not really planning on tackling a full restoration until later. Just going to throw the 40hp back in her and drive it! As you can see in the pictures, it's very dry.

I found a few more. I cleaned up the paint with purple power to get all the tree sap off it. I'm going to roll it with this paint for awhile. It's off but still looks pretty cool. I've pulled all the bumpers and I plan to powder coat them along with the wheels. before reassembly.

I like the double doors. Is that a respray or original?

Didn't know that was rare?! I bet that's the only double door swivel seat out there! There are not many of those swivel seats out there!

Suits me perfectly since I don't like anyone :redguy: :redguy: @ Doug, it's been resprayed, it should be Sealing Wax Red. @ D, Ronnie at Bustoration has one and says that mine makes 3 that they know of... @ Wayne, I agree :thumbs: :thumbs:
