Well, got it back from the 3 year stay in the body shop. Had a rearend ectomy. Placed a 4 door back 1/3 on it. Floor pans, fire wall repaired, fenders replaced, doors replaced. Basically, it's a differnt car than it use to be. Just a few pic's. I have all the other parts done. Needs carpet and top.

Wow.....!!!!

That is one ambious restoration project..... LOVE the Poly.​
 
Looking good... Lot of time in this i imagine, Good luck with it, be a cool ride. Are they the original hubcaps for the car in the 3rd photo? I had a set of those and always wondered what they were off of. I thought one of the newer Satellites like mine. Thanks.

Thanks, had it for about 4 years now, not the original caps, I think these were on my duster when I bought that.
 
Thanks, I was curious as i thought they were for a newer car. Looks like its going to be a fun car.. Good luck on it....

All Hale the Poly!!

You are progressing nicely. I am keeping the Poly 318 in my `66 Belvedere as well...mainly because it seems no one else does these days! You will have a more unique ride when done.

Love the 'mud/ snow' tires. Mine is still wearing the ones she came out of the barn with...and I am down to motor, exhaust, wheels & tires. Wife says she needs to start before she gets 'shoes'. HA Keep pressing!
