It wasn't supposed to be a project but it might as well be, been off the road since march completely missed the summer and looking like its gonna stay like this until spring, engine build pretty much done, transmission being built as i now type this, hell i might as well attempt some body work also...

got some rust issues on the car, on nearly every panel but this one should be first on my list to repair

Welcome to the club, Luke - there are lots of skilled and knowledgeable members in your area.

I am sure you will get the car into shape in no time.

All the best

Hiya Luk and thanks for the pics and write up. Great looking car and don't let the Winter stop you getting stuck in. You are under cover so you've got no excuse!! Ha Ha

If that's the worst panel Luke, you will be fine. Do you have a background in bodywork etc?? What are your plans for her??

Welcome to the club matey,

Cheers Steve

thanks pete and yes i seem to live local to some fellow mopar enthusiast/classic american car enthusiasts, it will eventually its all a matter of time, and thanks steve, yes i am lucky to have access to under cover storage however...i have no power to the barn so that means no welding or grinding, so the plan is to take off any removable body panel and take them home where i will work on them...i have no body work experience but i guess you have to start somewhere and dive in the deep end, as far as my plans go only need her to be driver quality, it needs to look clean but not mint. I will try and get more pictures out soonish

cheers Luke
