Welcome aboard. Lots of experts in here to help with any issues you run into. Keep us posted on the restoration. Is the car in the Registry already?

Welcome to the club... looks like a bit of work ahead of you. Post details on the car; engine, options, etc... and your plans concours, "close" or...???

I currently have it on the rotisserie media blasted it down to the bare metal!

Wow, that looks really solid. Is there no rust at all, other than the old door patch?
When you have a minute please send your VIN to Mike the Registrar (somethingspecial) so he can include the car in the registry. Or send it to me and I'll get it to him.

Thanks
Arlie
