I have a 1969 Coupe, 302V8. I was gifted the car by my Brother-in-Law prior to his passing back in 2010. It fired up nicely, and had a new C-4 transmission installed and a new gas tank in 2009. Electrical working, New tires & Brakes. Front end seems to need some work. In all, a working machine. It has rust and the body needs work, paint, interior work, etc...
It has basically been garaged now for the past 8 years and was last started up about 4 years ago. Now I am prepared to spend some time with it. First thing obviously is to get it running again and I am prepared to do that, as that will get it back to where it was 8 years ago when I took possession.
My plan is to get it as mechanically sound as possible before I even think about the body, then the inside. A weekend driver and a nice classic musclecar is what I would like to end up with.
I'm just looking for advice on basically anything that would help me plan properly and move forward with this.
This was the 1st pic I took in 2010 and it's unchanged.
