Hi Fergy! Look who's here.So it begins. Been wanting to do a frame-off restoration for quite a few years now but have been putting it off over the last 5 years for several reasons. My wife has been pushing me to start it and make it a winter project.
I purchased the side/rear quarter panels from CCOT in 2008 and held on to them for this ocassion. My 40 is a JAN 1978 model and I had purchased it from the original owner in 2000 in Pennsylvania. The PO was in the Navy and had purchased it new when he was stationed in southern California. He gave me all the original California registrations since it was new. Have the original Owners Manual, plug-in trouble light and canvass door straps as well.
Hope to have it done in time for Spring but it may take a bit longer. Mechanically it is nearly 100% but taking care of body rust issues was my main focus. I'll post pics as it goes along as I know these build threads are worthless without pics.........
