it was just a lil one-pager...but it said his plans were to put on a new vinyl top and seat covers and show it as a survivor...don't know if that's actually what ended up happening though

Shhhhh, be careful what you say, Nick's a member here AND on Moparts. I'm not sure whether he considers the car a "survivor" anymore with what he's done to it, but hopefully HE'LL chime in and let us know!

If it ain't been squished or parted..... it is a survivor :D :D

Really though- what a find. Amazing to see how long cars last in a arrid cilmate. I'll bet he's got pile of dirt from all the dust he washed off it. But redo the vinyl and the seals, I bet it runs like a top. compared to the upper midwest where it would be a rusted heap with built in mouse condo :lol: :lol:

Hi everyone, yes the car is mine, thanks for the thumbs up on it....
As far as what I have done, it has been a slow process since my wife had a terrible accident. She is finally up on her feet and went back to work but still recovering and in thearapy. I have completed the interior back to as close as original as possible and yes it has a new vinal top. The motor and engine compartment has been cleaned up and I have repaired and restored many items. I am starting a new business called Nick's Classic Parts which I will be selling many restoration parts and race parts, I am also looking into producing some difficult 71/74 B body parts that no one wants to bother to make.

I will post a few pics on the updates of my car.......
thanks again..... Nick
