Here are a few pics. of my 69 that ive been working on for about 2 years. Almost ready for the road. Have come a long way since i got it when it was just a shell and missing almost everything.
I'm in the process of wet sanding so paint may not look the best of quality. This isnt a $30K/trailer queen resto either, its going to be meant to drive and look great.
Car is originally Light Blue Metallic with black vinyl top. Motor is 396, trans is turbo 400, and rear is 12 bolt with 3.55's.
Any recomendations on things I should give attention to would be great. Please no criticism unless it is followed by a solution!

Glad you like it. It is a very brilliant and shiny blue when its in the sun. It almost looks dark blue parked in the garage. I added a few more pictures. Noitce the booster is painted not plated. My budget said bye-bye long ago...

Hey Chris, looks like the car's come a long way.. Looking good at that.. As far as the brake booster, just mask everything off & shoot it with Cast Blast paint (from seymore co.) I used it on mine, looks good & holds up to the brake fluid..

**Edit** I just re looked at your pics, the booster looks good like it is, I would just get some paint on the master cyl before it gets rusty..
