Hey Tyson, those photos are a great learning experience, man, a nice video would be fun! But that is really a black hole of time wasting. (videos that is)

You do superb work.

As was mentioned, it is great to see another one brought back. Who knows who will own that one in the future.

Wow, is that an epic masking effort just to paint the inner rear seat panel!

Looks great Tyson.

The lower inner fender repair panel looks great. I'd think this could almost be a mass production item because so many restoration projects need this very panel. Even before rocker panels go, this part of the car seems to be one of the most rust prone.

So this car got new fenders, valence and door skins - any other new panels? Work looks too notch as usual Tyson. Keep the photos coming.

Amazing work as always. I look forward to following another great build.

Out of curiosity, what does a restoration of this caliber cost?

Keep the updates coming.

I'm enjoying the progress so far and am also interested in the cost of such work. I'm going to be in the market for this type of work in the next couple of years. My car seems pretty solid so I expect rust repair would be minimal, however it received a less than stellar paint job many years ago by a previous owner.
The company motto seems to be "We're not happy 'till you're not happy."
