The first thing to do in a car restoration project is to make a list of what needs to be done. You don’t want to miss something essential and risk damaging a new paint job, nor do you want to find out that your car now looks great but won’t run. Try breaking your list into two groups – ‘Things that can be done by yourself (with a little research)’ and ‘Things that a garage or shop will have to do’. Here are some things to include on your list:
With list of repairs in hand, you’re ready to tackle the project.

Interior
The original interior was General Motors Ox Grey and Charcoal. I have stayed pretty much to code on all of the fabric items. The revision has included replacement door and side sail panels, new dash cap, headliner, and visors. A window regulator, bushings in the steering column, and trunk and hood lift supports were also replaced.
