A month may be tight. Its one of those things that you often have to ask how far do I want to go? There are a lot of sub assemblys that need to be gone through while I have it apart. Once the dash is back in and the inside is completly media blasted and painted. I can get it at least drivable. Then I can piddle as I drive it.
I bought the car with intentions of driving it daily. Or when I didnt feel like riding my motorcycle to work because it it raining!

I like it when people buy their cars to drive them. It is nice to look at a show car, but even nicer when you see an older car driving down the street.

Looks like lots of work to get it done in a month. But can be done. Keep us posted on your progress.

Yes it is lots of work. And I still have to make money to sink in to the car as well as support my Harley drag racing habit. I have to keep reminding myself this is going to be a driver and not a museum quality representation of a factory origanal.

There is nothing wrong with that. Hey let's see some pics of the Harley drag racing habit.

Well the month goal is quickly slipping away. Was not able to even spend 1 hour working on the car this weekend. Good news is that I made some money to buy more parts for it!

This weekend I got the cowl panel welded in. Removed the rear deck lid, fuel tank and rear 1/4 glass. Going to remove the doors and get the car over to the media blasters next Saturday. Once its blasted inside and underneath. I will POR15 it all. Then start putting stuff on, instead of keep taking parts off.

More money and more parts are always a good thing. I still have a wheelbarrow full of MOOG front end parts for mine I have to find time to install so the wife said no more for now lol. Keep us posted on it, sounds like you're making good progress so far.
