My 1953 5 window project has been ongoing for about 16 yrs and has continually been a victim of the age old time vs money equation! Well it's finally time to get it done! It's fighting every step and bolt but I think I'm starting to win. Final assembly before sending it out for paint, going with the original Sahara beige.
