well, finally after forever, i got another project to work on. now that i have a steady income and can afford to do this with projects, i have a feeling this one will be done. i did some work for my dads boss around his shop to help get a project car about 2 years ago. the truck i wanted he accidentaly crushed. so he told me about 2 weeks ago to look for a car and i can get it, i found the car ive always wanted since i was a kid. i dont have pictures just yet, tomorrow i will be pulling it out the woods and to the shop to start tearing into it. i did a really good look over of the car, the trunks isnt rusted out, frame is is great shape, and only the hood, rear quarters and i think the truck lid needs to be replaced. and i def. need new glass because some kids decided to throw rocks through the windows. will def have pics tomorrow.

sorry about the delay with the pictures, its been alot harder then i thought with getting this car out the woods haha. i wished it was a 2door, but its not. i honestly dont know what i want to go with yet. i think im just going to go with the flow on this one. i have been wanting to put juice on a car for a while, so i might end up doing that

dude if its not 2 door dont spend all the money on it trying to make it nice. 4 doors dont sell for shit once restored

not to mention they dont sell shit for 4 doors usually. But check YEAR ONE for any parts
restore it first before you do any custom work on it.... you dont want to get over your head...

I have used both of these to get parts for my 64 2dr and the top link lets you pay with paypal. Good luck with the new project.

thanks for the info guys.
jimmy, im not really worried about selling it, i just want a cruiser really, i just always see 2 doors, so i kinda like the fact that its a 4 door.
ice,,im not really doing any custom work just yet. so far all i really want to do is replace all the sheetmetal parts that needs to be replaced. my dads boss has a 400sb he said he will let me put in it, and he will either give me a 3 speed or 4 speed tranny.

Is the car still stuck in the woods? Maybe the tires grew roots.

cant get pictures of it. camera committed suicide a while back. just dont want to get another one yet lol. the car's body isnt in that bad of shape. just surface rust really. but we still got brand new doors to be on the safe side. we still need to get new fenders but the doors hit me for alot of money. the truck is in good shape, just need to do some repair to it. interior has to be completely redone because some kid threw bricks through the windshield so all the interior is rotted. dash is still in good shape. even has stock radio still

i would use my phone, but the pictures are so crappy. i really want you guys to see where it started at and where its at now. very long process and i know it will take years to complete it.
dont know about wires just yet. still dont know if i want to juice it or put on some bags.

Here is a pic from around 95 of My old 64 SS I had back in the day, I really liked the way it looked with the stock SS hubcaps and whitewalls.
