We have 3 engines laying around our yard that can be used but I don't know were to begin. The was drive able at one point in the past because I remember driving it myself but I dont know what happened because I took off to the Army. The interior was originally bucket seats with a console and he changed it to a bench seat. Also I believe the steering column was pulled out and changed because everything I see has the gear selector located in the center on the console but the car has it on the steering column.

Photos will follow tomorrow and I hope I get some good feed back.. Lol!!

You will have trouble posting pics due to file size. We all do. Everyone seems to have a different way to compact the file too. One way I learned from this forum is to upload pics to your hard drive, open the file in MS Paint, select "Image" (from toolbar), then select "Stretch / Skew" and reduce the % in the horizontal and vertical boxes (use same number for both) to say 60%, save to a different filename, reopen the file and check the file size. Actually takes longer to explain than to actually do this, its pretty straightforward.

Or just use www.photobucket.com pretty easy and works just fine

And as most her say, label box and take a lot of pictures.
Also try to think ahead, my advice is that you first strip the body you do not need to take apart every single item an example is the dash, just take it out as a complete unit.

When you are done lift it from the frame and ship it to the paint/body shop, then take out the engine /transmission and send it to the shop, then goes the suspension and rear axle.

Now you can start with the frame, in my mind this is the first part of the car that should be restored if you take a ground up restauration, then suspension and so on.

Both the paintshop and engine shop will take time, try to plan ahead and order part early, you will get an idea of what you need when you start to take the car apart, take notes of everything that does not work or need repairs as you go.
