sorry for the lack of comments on the posts; however, this is 6 years worth of photos. My son was 10 when i started and i recall kidding with him saying i would be done by the time he turned 16. missed that deadline, but i'm hopeful it will be on the road before he's 17. I have been restoring all of the OEM parts i can and will begin posting some of those photos soon.

Did you paint over the vin tag on the A pillar? That has the vehicle production date and all that on it.
