Restoring my 1970 FY1, 440 6 pack Bee....thought I would post some photos in my gallery of how it was found, after chemical dipping, body painted and now finally off the rotisserie.

Glad to read your back at it. Thanks for posting up pics, its looking great! Getting them in paint is a good turning point.
 
Looking really good hope it gets finished soon going to be a gorgeous car
 
Very nice! I love the 70 model. Have any extra front fenders?
 
good job....not for the faint of heart. I ran out of time and patience to go that far.....
 
Im glad to see you are back at it. Great job. You may have given me the motivation to get back to work on my 70 Bee. Ive been buying parts but they aren't doing me any good still sitting in their boxes. Seeing yours makes me want to get back to work on mine.
 
Sorry, no extra fenders. Hard to find from what I hear and not cheap either

Here are a few more to motivate you! Like you I gave had parts sitting for several years and simply re-focused my efforts, especially in winter

Looks like a busy and fun winter ahead. Congrats on pulling the car together after all those years....motivation is the key. The more projects I see coming together here, the more I want to start another car :headbang:
 
Looks like you're making great progress. I'll definitely follow your build.
