As with my other projects, I thought a thread dedicated to my latest would keep me motivated. This time I'll update progress on my '59 Lark.
Most have read this before, but I'll do a quick recap. It was given to me by my Uncle on my 15th birthday back in 1980. It's a V8 Regal with an automatic, power brakes, twin traction, recliners and a radio. Originally an Alaskan Blue car with a poorly matched repaint in the '70's. My avatar picture is 3 year old me in front of this very car in '68. My goal is to recreate that picture with the car looking as good as it did back then, just need to find a matching trike.......
Next pic was how it looked in the '80's a few years before I parked it, just didn't think it would be over 20 years before I started working on it again.
This is how it looks today. I've removed a rear clip from a parts car to replace all the structure from the c-pillar back, everything should be easy after that.
