Picked up the '64 220s

Here is the donor during the strip down. May look horrid but holy cow does that engine run smooth!

Here is what was in the trunk (one grill was on the car)


Here it is before unloading. Found this thing in a rough neighborhood in Detroit.

Progress is being made

Progress report.

It has been moving along slowly, but moving along nonetheless. I have a long way to go. I opted to work on the cheap easy stuff first. Then I'll tackle the gas tank, carb replacement, brakes, some fabrication and exhaust. 2 of my doors did not work properly because of bad hinges. I managed to fix those with parts from the donor car.

Made a new parcel shelf out of some oak plywood I had laying around.


Removed some wood trim


Removed the back seat


Sanded the trim and one of the doors window trim



Had a broken hinge to replace




And I have a coat of stain on the trim. I opted to go with a red oak stain and then will cover it with a clear semi gloss marine grade urethane
