Talking Progress Pics....

Hey all,
I thought I'd post some pic of my '64 GP now that I'm licensing it for the road. It's covered with shop dust, but it's still winter where I live so a wash will have to wait.
Lots and lots of body work in this car - replaced the trunk, lower rear window area, rear wheels well and much of the front wheel wells. I originally wanted to paint it black, but let myself be talked into this blue. The body turned out real well so the car would have looked good in black.
I've still got a lot of work to do, but I'm thinking I'll get some miles on it and see what else needs doing
The thing at the top of my list is new wheels and tires. I'm in the process of deciding between Torq-Thrust IIs or Cragar S/S's. They're not very imaginative, but they're definitely classics. I think the choice is boiling down to a quarter toss.
One thing that's really been a challenge is finding good replacement chrome and stainless pieces. From previous experience I didn't expect that to be such a problem. If the car turns out after this run-in period I'll make the decision then to re-chrome or not to re-chrome a lot of stuff. But I've got a lot of duplicate parts I've bought and cherry picked the best for this car. I'll be selling much of it later.
...hope the pic turnout...
