Here are a few pictures of my project of 33... Well, I've owned it 33 years.

Yes, that is actually a Safety Convenience Group.

"Wow"! That's quite a car. Got to feel pretty good getting that close.

When I saw the title, I thought; someone is giving up and is going to sell. Glad you stuck to it!

Beautiful car. I've drug my car around for 28 years. Glad to see I'm not the only one that needs half a lifetime to complete.

I am not one to take a lot of shortcuts. However, post being hit by a drunk illegal during a traffic stop, which wound up retiring me at 39. It slowed down my plans significantly. I took the car to a "reputable" body shop with a 5K deposit, which went belly up. The chassis had been completed when I dropped the vehicle off. It was sat out back with a tarp over it. A new 427 wound up full of water, all the fasteners and plating had begun to pit and rust. It necessitated a complete disassembly and replacement and replating of many parts. I have done all the work with the exception of paint, machine work and the differential myself, although a bad back and knees keep me from going at it like I would have before being injured. So small doses is what had to happen.
It surprises me how few understand what a labor of love and money a proper restoration cost, even when you do most of it yourself. As for dragging it around, I bought it two days before I left for OCS and Jump School at Benning. It sat in their garage for nine years while I was serving in the military.
Thank you for the positive comments.
I ran into Steve when I took the clutch pedal support over to him and had him install his bearing kit.

Thanks! - Going to use it on my 67 project that will be going to paint shortly. Was going to go with Acapulco blue but I like the Viper GTS Pearl better.

Is that a 390? What transmission are you putting in it?

Suddenly, I feel very insignificant with what I've done to our long neglected 66 Coupe! My mustang has its tail tucked between its legs!
Beautiful work.

Really good looking work on your car. Congrats on sticking with it. You make me feel slightly better about my 22 year project.
