So yesterday I stripped out all of the interior except for the dash, i think that the passenger side floor board will need to be replaced, rust holes through the floor in a couple of places.

Today I started stripping the paint off the car, WOW! there is like 6 layers of paint and primer on this thing. Its going to be probably 100 pounds lighter when I get all the paint and bondo off! haha

I did find that somebody went through and bondo'd over a bunch of dents and stuff that will take some time to straighten out. But I am getting really excited to start welding up the rust and get this thing painted!!

I do need to get a digi camera, I want to document the restoration.

Well I am selling one of my other vehicles today, so I will use some of that money to buy a welder and start ordering body parts.
