Default 61 Catalina Ragtop

Thought I'd post a couple pics of my 61 Catalina Convertible I finished last summer. It's a documented tri-power T-10 4 speed car. I added the Ventura bucket seat interior and some engine goodies. It's a great driving car. I tried to duplicate a 61 Bristol Blue Catalina I bought new in 61 tri-power 4 speed,
3.42 Saf-T Track. That car had a plain Catalina interior.

Soooo, I dressed this one up a bit.

Thanks for looking. I'm doing another 61 Cat Rag Top this winter, PHS documented 425a (333HP) 4 speed Tradewinds Blue car.

Very nice work. My favorite car of all time. I prefer the HT, but this year/model car has always been at the top of my list...

Nice color.

Nice backdrop, Larry.

Larry, how much of the work did you do yourself?

Can you post any "Before" pictures? Those are the ones that I always enjoy the most.

Thanks.
