First one out of the barn
« on: March 18, 2012, 22:06:44 »
Here are some pictures of the first car to make it out of the "barn" from my 4-car "barn find".  I'm very pleased with how it turned out, and after I sort out a few remaining issues it will go up for sale with proceeds to fund the continued resurrection of the cars that remain in the "barn".

By the way, there is a hardtop too, but it's at a friend's house at the moment.

Peter - looks great!!  Much cleaner  and put together then when I saw it in Vermont many months ago!   Good luck with the sale.

It's White Grey, #158.  That's the original color.
