I hear ya guys. It is a very solid car with just two places of rust. One on the A pillars and one spot on the pass. side drip rail. Really would rather sale the car now before paint but I have time off work now and can paint it over the holidays. Probably won't make anything on it but hopefully get my money back on the car as I go along. But I have the time and hate to waste it. Painting has to add value to the car. I know I will not get any labor out of it.
When I paint it I will do an all over paint job. Just have time now to do the outside and jambs. Will pull the motor later this winter and paint under the hood.
Looks like most would keep it the factory color and I would rather have the factory color if I was buying the car. I really think the Bronze with a white stripe and blacked out hood with a scoop would be bad ***.
I will probably have it in primer tomorrow as there is not much body work to do other than sand the whole car. I will cut out the little rust and replace it with new metal.
I know that there is no other rust on the car as it is mostly in original paint. The pans are all good as are the quarters. You don't find many this solid. That is why it took me a year to find these two. I know to start with a solid car. May cost more up front but worth it in the end.
The car did run and drive when I got it. I have used a few parts on my other build and am replacing them to get it to run again.
If anyone is interested in the car it is for sale for $3,500 now. It will need the interior redone but it is all there. It is a bench seat car. It will go up as I work on it. The car is in north Al. if your close and want to look at it.
I am taking lots of pics so someone can see what they are getting.
Here are a few pics as the car is now. The primer you see on it is all the body work this car needs. I have all ready repaired the few small dents in it.
What it looked like when I got it.
