Look! I am PUMPED! I got it home the otherday and had to leave again! I can't wait to get started reassembly! Feast for your eyes!

Looks great. Did you paint the underside of the tub too? Your frame looks all shinny and new too. Can't wait to see it completed.

Take some pics of the underside while you're taking all your reassembly pics you're going to post here>

Are you going for a complete factory stock look or resto-mod?

I am going to keep it mostly stock. It will have headers and dual exhaust but I will keep it stock or at least stuff that came optioned on them...I have a set of 16.5 X 8.25 wheels that I am going to use. Oh....I did take off the quadrajet and put back a holley 600. Still trying to find stock plain jane utility bucket seat material to recover the seats and the EXACT repro floor wall to wall rubber mats for the front and the back as it came from the factory. Thanks for the kind words...Don

Looks great, being from Mid Mo. I thought they had to have more rust:

Congrats Bigdon! The paint looks great. I just got mine back from the paint shop so I know how excited you must be getting ready to reassemble. Keep us posted.
