New project, it just arrived will be restoring it back to as close to original condition. Photos to follow, is anyone else working on something close to what I have I might need some help.
Thanks, Frank Delaware

Is that the one you were looking at from Minnesota? Looks to be in good shape.
 
That's the one, already started buying auto body tools.

I'll keep you posted, hope to start work on it this coming weekend.

I don't own one, but would like to!
 
There are some over on the H.A.M.B website that doing build threads. I'm over there also since I have a 40. The owner is doing a hemi in his though but other threads with info.
 
At this point I have the 48 cleaned and hope to get started on fixing all the small dents. I haven't gone crazy buying tools but did pick up a kit with hammers and a couple of dollies. The dam weather hasn't budged above 29 degrees. I've been watching a lot of UTub about repairing dents and using filler.

I'll post more once I get started.

Congrats, I really like those oldies "would be really cool to do one some day".
 
I've made some progress, never have done bondo work I've made a small step forward. The problem I'm having is that I keep sanding past the level point then it becomes a low spot, which I have to rebondo. I have a feeling I'm being a bit too picky and the time I'm spending on the left fender is way too long. I’ve given myself about 2 years (or a little less) to finish the restoration but at this rate it could be more like 3 years.
