Been a member for a while, reading and asking questions.  Thought it time to post progress.
'72 purchased new by my father.  Stored in barn for 19 years - used as mouse habitat for most of it.   :brickwall:

First time in the sun AND moving under its own power.
Still a long ways to go, but progress is what it is....

That looks great. I'm kind of wondering how do painters keep from getting over-spray on on that beautiful work when the body gets painted.

Thanks for the support.
As far as the painting - I'd suggest all buy stock in tape manufacturers 'cause I am going to tape that thing tighter than a ducks butt - top and bottom.

Awesome job.   Your really going to the extreme on this, and it'll be worth it!   Keep the thread updated as progress goes on.

Have you painted before?

I have not painted before.  I am painting all the bits and pieces, but am leaving the body to the professionals...I already get the stink eye at for paint fumes in the house - I can't imagine what would be said if I tried to paint this whole thing in the garage.

Great looking car, man.  Is that '71's GY9?  That's the color going onto my '72, eventually.  Where did you get the paint?
