BTW is like the restoration of Steve McQ. 70s.

but at least i now have great pics of a naked 64 body....
That is one, but what is also good for the factory is the knowledge they obtain to restore #57 proper. Cars like this are a wealth of detail informationQuote:

I agree...leave it alone, it's only original once.
Awesome resource.
Anyone care to weigh in on the riveted horn grill nut plates? I've never seen those before.
Am I stupid this morning or do they not have the VIN posted?
They own it and can do what they want with it, obviously they see the value of bringing it back to as "new" condition.
I for one applaud the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail going into this project.
How do you know that they own it? This is not car #57 (which is a 901). This is a '64.Quote:

lol
Not sure about smart but I can definitely vouch for the fact that I was being lazy.
Cursory re-examination revealed it. Thanks for spurring me on.
So...
What about those nut plates?
jep especially when you have a close look at the front hood hinge screws or the seat belt mounting points "solution"...makes me clap my hands bravo bravo bravissimoQuote:
