It looks and sounds awesome man. Congrats to the both of you. That's an awesome car for anyone (in my opinion). Your son is going to love it every time he drives it. Although he will probably find something to do to it soon enough...it never ends for any of us.

Woohoo!Welp, tomorrow is the big day. Dropping her off this eve to get the front end aligned and state inspection. We're driving to school next week.
Does it have side molding? Hard to tell in that pic.
I know that feeling. Car moves under its own power. Fock it.I haven't put it on yet. Those or the 5.0 badges. There are two spots in the clear i still need to cut and buff out... and the molding will be in the way. Besides, Jr is so dead set on "damn the torpedoes, get it on the road," that's what I've been pushing toward. The interior is incomplete, and it needs a sending unit replaced in the tank... But it'll be street legal!

Here you can begin to get a feel of what I'm working with, although I've pulled the 4 inch deep dents in both side of the cowl panel back out and hammered them somewhat straight. the primer was just an attempt to slow the rust, I'm in no way done with this panel, I just wanted the hood to open and close. We'll come back to this later, when we tackle body work. The windshield: yeah, along with the nice hood shaped bodyline creases in the roof. Look close.. yep, that's them.. Nice huh?
Believe it or not, I have fixed worse..
Hey, post a day 1 and current picture side by side
According to what you posted below:
This will be the first time it's been street legal in eleven years! Congrats to your boy! What a project!
What brand paint did you end up going with?
Did you order it or get it somewhere local? I'm getting ready to start prepping a car for paint. Couple of local shops here but don't know if they are selling a "better" paint for a higher cost. A good friend of mine told me to find nason which is a DuPont line of paint.
