Looks like a car I have bought a few parts from in years gone by. It sits down the aisle from from a pole barn last time I saw it

Where you from Orangebird? It's just might be the same car.

Its been a long haul, yes. I do other side work to fund this project. Its a little farther along than pics show but not by much - hoses, radiator, drive shaft, wires, small stuff. Cars are usually the last thing I get to. I just finished a 13 month restoration on a guys car who I work with and now I am finishing a car I worked on a while ago. I still squeeze in time for this thing but family, work and other projects seem to refocus me at times. Now that its in the position its in I like working on it more because you see real progress.

Yep, know thefeeling all too well. Seems I have to do more to others cars than my own to earn the money to resotre my own. then, I find I have no more time/drive to complete mine. Vicious circle.

That looks like a car in a yard I took a few parts off of for my 1970 Roadrunner project, down south of Culpeper?  Leons.
