Getting close to the finish

Looking really great.
As mentioned - that chrome work and grille treatment are nice.
The black and white interior works great on the white car but I think the all black will be much better on the color choice you made - going to be a fun cruiser indeed.
Had someone tell me one time that "white looks plain - like you couldn't afford a color" Oh well - to each his own.

Have you converted to front disc brakes?

(edit - oh forgot to mention - mine has been in the family since new also - my Dad and Mom bought it new - well - the car actually found them instead of the other way around)

Nice ride! I like it. the black and white interior works. I have not done any mechanical yet. it runs like a top, because it stayed in the garage for over 30 years in Los Angeles there was no rust. Is it difficult to convert to disc brakes? I know I want to lower the stance 2 inches but that seems to be a tough job.

I think they look pretty cool. I should be picking my car up this weekend to begin installing all the chrome and headliner. I cant wait to go cruising.

NICE, Can't wait to see it with the chrome back on.
It gives me hope and inspiration to get my done. Been waiting for about 20 years, so figure it is time I finish it. LOL

Looking great! I like the colors.

I've been at this point several times over the years and I will offer a bit of unsolicited advice based on my experiences.

TAKE YOUR TIME!!!

I know everyone is anxious at this point of a restoration, so just relax and take you time and work methodically through the rest of the job so you aren't taking things apart that you did last week. The more you work and have to re-do, the more you risk scratching something. Just relax and take your time! The hard work is over and every little thing you do now will show up big time! If you get frustrated, just close the door and walk away!!! (Booze helps too! ) A day or two later things always work better.

Keep up the good work and we like pictures!!!

I like the advice, especially the "close the door and walk away" and the "Booze helps to"

GREAT ADVICE! I actually did that yesterday. The bumper was giving me trouble. I just added new pictures to the photobucket. Go check them out. Thanks again for the advice. http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/Go...finally%20home
