Thought I'd share some pictures and (hopefully) progress on this old car. First, a little history. This car's been in the family since the '60s, in one driveway or another. My mother drove this car in high school during the early '70s, and then went back to my grandfather after she married. My grandfather revamped the car in the early '80s with a new paintjob, wheels, interior, added A/C, and swapped the motor that currently sits in it.
My cousin drove the car for 2-3 years while she was in high school, then parked it back in my grandfather's barn, where it sat for over a decade.
I've had the car now for nearly a year in my garage, where it's been waiting while I find the time and money to work on it. After a decade in a barn, the car wasn't just dusty, it was caked in dirt. I washed off the worst of the dirt before I parked it last year. I gave it a quick wash yesterday after rolling into the driveway.
