Reconstruction has begun.

I am leaning towards galaxy gray for the inside and the upper part of the delivery. Probably something in the cobalt blue range for the lower half of the car...
If I jam it and do the inside I could put it back together and drive it this summer??? HMMMM?

Yeah.... as long as you don't sell it this summer too! I think we are all seeing a trend with cars you get on the road...

The ultimate goal is to finish the delivery. I like having one around to drive. As much work that has gone into the delivery I think it will be my burial plot. Plus this has been one of those dream car type things for a long time. Ever since I saw one in the nostalgia drags up in Canada a few years ago it has been my goal to have one.
I kept my 72 Bronco for 15 years, so the delivery should be around that long I hope...

OK, I feel better now. FWIW, I kept my '56 panel for 28 years. I had people checking their pulses when I sold that - they just couldn't believe I would ever part with it. But it was time. You know it when you know it.

I have a guy that want to trade me a 52 Ch*y panel TRUCK for my 62 Ranchero??
I still like me delivery the best.... Laurie likes the panel truck more than the chero??? Might be time to sell or trade the wife...

I think you should make the trade and then really play havoc with the Chevy guys by installing a Ford motor into it! Now that would be my kind of Chevy.

Have you seen the panel? If it's for Lori, you don't have to take ownership and we won't hold it against you. But keep in mind... you have a sedan delivery and you know how much flat metal is on that. Multiply that time 5 for a panel truck. Why do you think I hate body work?

I certainly agree with all of that. I was WAY too long without mine while it was in someone else's shop. And I've certainly proven the overspray can be kept under control while I did my detail work under the hood.

I say...... PUT IT TOGETHER NOW!

Years ago, when I pulled a 302 from my '69 'Chero, the motor and C-4 was sold and ended up in a Chevy LUV. I thought that was poetic.
