Well I finally got around to the point where I could push a car into the car port the other day. Just happens to be the wife's 77 Spyder that we bought close to 9 years ago. I plan on taking my time and doing it right from the start. I will start in the engine bay and work my way from there to the front bumper then back.
The wife wants it solid black with black interior. The only other thing that is a must for her is that I hand a pair of white NOS bottles on the down bars in the back for the roll cage. She saw a friend of mine's 72 Skylark that had his bottles liked how you could see them through the back glass of his car. She wants me to make sure that I have that similar setup on her car when I am done. Beyond that she doesn't really care to much just as long as the other 3 things are done.
I am not 100% certain on the motor but I can wait till the rest of the car is done before I have to worry too much about that part of the process. I am making sure that I get this car looking sharp as I plan on trying to start up a small paint/body shop here at the house. Considering the quality of work around here it would not take much to get something going.
At any rate I needed to start working on something and since we have had the 77 Spyder the longest. I figure it would be wise to finish the wife's car off first.
Here are some pics of the car in its current state now. I hope to add more as work gets done on the car. I also don't plan to set any record pace but hope to work on things here and there as time allows and hopefully get the car done before the summer shows next year. That way I don't rush through and makes things worse or look shody in the process.
