My 70 T/A is somewhat of a monstrous project. It needs both massive amounts of time and money. Beings that I either have one or the other, I have just left this car in storage for the past 5 years or so and forgotten about it. Instead of thinking about the project as a whole I have just been breaking it off into little chunks that I can handle. Right now I am blasting/repainting all the suspension. Making sure to get everything detailed to the correct finishes as possible. I suppose I have about 70% of the suspension redone at this point. I should have the suspension finished by spring, then I will hoist the car up on to the rottisserie and start knocking out the body.......
Pics to follow, my head is spinning just thinking about all the work:doubt:

I agree with 6Pack. I try to do what I can when I can too. I am a little nervous about hacking out some frame rail though. Slow and seady will win the race!

I agree. It can seem overwhelming and get discouraging. A little at a time can work.

The pedals looked real nice the other weekend. Little by little you'll get there.

Got the T/A hood yesterday. The UPS freight truck couldnt make it up my hill so i had to strap the hood onto the top of my daytona in the pouring rain, with an extension chord. Pics this weekend. In the 7 years I have owned it, I have never seen the car with a Hood on it. Im excited!

Looks good. Are those new front fenders?

Nope, the drivers fender is the only panel that has had bodywork done to it.
