Hey man, starting to watch your videos tonight. Your car looks so much like the one we started with... Body panels not fitting, partially disassembled, some rust on the roof. All your suspension components rusted, and in bad shape... like you said, like watching my videos. Really nice job on the floor pans, quarters, and sheetmetal work! Looks like we both made our seams on the quarter panel in a similar place...

@turbocobra Well beleave it or not but it was my first time doing metal and body work. My Chevelle, I did everything but the bodyand paint, so from watching them work on it and from what I've seen on tv and youtube I decided to try it myself. Still not sure how the paint will turn out but if I don't try it I'll never know. Ya you'll see that alot of the stuff you did in your videos I had to do in a similer manor

@TheSkiier11 I used the factory suspension, but I used 2" drop hotchkis springs in the front and 1.5" drop hotchkis leafsprings in the rear! The hotchkis wasn't to bad with price. What kind of car are you and your dad restoring?

[TheSkiier11]

What suspension did you put back in it? I am 19 and am working on a resto/mod with my dad but I am having trouble finding a decent suspension that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
