Thought I would share with the group. I have been working, or really just letting collect dust, this 62ish ragtop for a few years now. I am using the pan and quite a few other parts from the car I flipped a few years ago. i bought a rust free 63 body from Arizona and had it shipped here to northern Illinois. I have tried to do most all the work myself, kinda cheap, and kinda just to see if I can. I have managed to strip, blast, prime, and start the paint. The pan is blasted and painted and the assembly has started. I should get the rest of the car painted and assembled over the winter. Hope to drive it next spring

That is looking sweet. Reminds me a bit of Frenchy's Oval.
