Default Winter Granny Project..

I decided to do some cosmetic work to the 69 granny Nova I bought 2 years ago. This is one solid car!!! It had a lot of little dings and scratches that needed attention so I brought it to one of my clients for a "freshening up". They have an "old school" guy there who has done a lot of resto work and he is really enjoying working on this 40 year old survivor. He has gone over the whole car and fixed all the little stuff...he only found one minor rust spot the size of quarter on the lower dogleg of the pass. side front fender. This car was well cared for and certainly wasn't left out in the weather..it should look real nice when we are done. Here are some pics I took today at the shop...we spent sometime going over the car and planning the next step.

I pulled out the back seat and found 2 build sheets...one was the correct one for the car, the other was dated the same day with the same interior...but different body number and paint color. Who said the factory never made a mistake

first one in seat bottom...incorrect
