Yesterday I started stripping down the 63 body for some sealer. When I bought it the former owner had it in primer and the surface rust was starting.
Don't like rust so went to work on it.
The more I tear into this car the more amazed I am at the lack of rust.
I have the trim,front clip etc. off and all the other pieces and the only rust was a small hole where he had the trunk mounted battery and a small pinhole under the gas peddle. No rust under the trim or the bottom of the body at all.
However there is no insulation or sound deading in the car at all.
There are a few thing's that I will have to find to finish it but not much, ashtray, trans cross member. It had the heater delete in it so will install a aftermarket heat ac unit.Small stuff but it adds up.
Trim is real nice but have 2 little dings to work out but I am going to polish all of it anyway.
After 4 years I finally have a little time and am enjoying getting on it.
