Thanks, Don
You are right about the pix. I've been checking out many projects here (including yours, of course!), and they are fun and helpful.
Couple more pix...
Interior: The guy I bought it from had the seat redone nicely, but I'm not sure about red for the color yet.
Tranny all cleaned up, waiting for seals, o-rings, gaskets:
Suspension cleaned up up nicely:
Heading up to "Back to the 50's" car show at MN state fairgrounds today to see what I can scavenge at the swap.
