OK.... new car, new project. Gonna do as much of this one as I can. I'm sure I'll need plenty of advice, and some help, but I'm gonna stretch myself.

I haven't picked it up yet, but here are a few teaser pics. It's at Anthony Bell's place in OkC . I'll get up there within the next few weeks, spend a weekend with Anthony and get some help/hints on bodywork, then drag it home! \:D/

I was hoping to get it back down to some of the original Polar Silver and roll it as a patina ride, but it looks like it'll need paint. I'm gonna tackle that myself. It doesn't need much rust repair at all, and appears to have all the correct sheetmetal.

I plan to make it a nice driver -- slam it, 4" beam (maybe 6"), probably BRM's or some of those new repop Cosmics. I have a late 1600dp that I can refurbish and run in it to start with. Gotta have some big power, but that will come later. I'm trying to learn all I can about turbo setups, but I'll worry about that decision a little later.

Oval baby!!!

Looks good Scotty Is that a cigarette lighter in the dash? I have one of those in the 55.. Wish you lived closer so I could work on it

Nope -- that's a hacked-in push-button ignition switch.

Come on down anytime -- I'll put you to work!
