All that is done and can now move on to interior and body work. Have done some of that, but lots to go. Tilt steering column installed and moved forward for better driving position, new gas pedal with throttle cable instead of linkages, new bed wood, Rustoleum paint just to cover primer and make it all one color, frame painted, and many other odds and ends. Good driveway therapy after a divorce.

what color rustoleum did you use for the body? and what type and color for the engine?

When I found my '64 in a backyard in Hesperia, California for $200:




And currently, here's where it is today. Motor, trans, and suspension are done. Finishing up the little stuff, like brake lines, wiring, bed floor. You know, the stuff that seems to always cost the most during any build.
