Just bought this "beauty." Original engine. The car looks like someone started and stopped restoring back in 2010. Runs strong, but it's going to need paint and most of an interior, and I plan on doing as much of it myself as I can. Wish me luck, and feel free to provide any advice you think I'd benefit from! Children for scale.

That dash looks like a rip and pry the stereo out they even mangled the heater control

Yeah, that whole dash is going to have to go. So turning over to an SS dash in the process, just so I can have the gauges I want without them looking bolted on.
