Right off the truck.
The neighbors are starting to come out of their houses at this point.
Still has the Alaskan plates.
As some might be able to tell, the rear fenders have been flared. The local body shop will surely know my name soon.
Coming off the truck.
She needs a wash. All of her chrome is tucked away in the back of the car.
Chrome headlight bezel is missing a screw, which explains the lean.
Next to my brother's Jeep.
Rear door (and all doors for that matter) need to be refitted for new locks.
Inside the car, case which holds many chrome parts.
Various interior parts, the Miller Meteor badges, etc.
As you can tell, I have a lot of work ahead of me.
... a whole lot of work.
After a wash, in the night.
In the night, the chrome shines, the rust hides.
You can kind of see some of the metallic paint.
Just prior to being unloaded.
The car is officially unloaded. Just an old cardboardbox and the original headliner remains.
That isn't a body bag, it's the old headliner.
All cleared out.
The interior needs a bit of work.
Front seat.
Dash.
More dash.
And even more dash (it's a wide car).
Last dash shot (whew).
Engine was rebuilt not too long ago, in decent shape.
Another engine shot.
More engine goodness.
This should satisfy all of you gear-heads.
Welcome to the back of my car, unloaded. This is all the rest of the exterior chrome, and interior.
This is my dog Nova.
Nova says hi.
I have all the original parts ready for duplication.
Not in bad shape, considering they were sitting outside in Alaska for over 20 years.
Divider glass, in perfect shape.
I'm very glad I have the original interior.
Ghostbusters magnet logos.
Another magnet logo shot.
What a difference a wash makes.
Passenger side chrome bezel is off because it was missing a screw and was loose durinig the wash.
Nice shiny chrome.
There is very little rust on the exterior of the vehicle.
Ghostbusters logo magnets adorn the car.
The hood's clearcoat has been breached, but in good condition overall.
Chrome around the windsheild is in the garage, waiting to be put on after restoration.
Airing out the car.
The car is empty.
Looks like a nice place for a plasma TV, huh?
Mild interior surface rust.
Flat window pane is cracked on the inside. Needs to be replaced.
Seat is from a newer Cadillac. Will be replaced with a 59.
This is the area where the divider glass will go.
Those blasted rear fender mods! I look forward to fixing these.
Begging to be restored.
We just caught the beginning of the first snow storm.
Time to put her in storage.
No more Alaskan winters outside.
She barely fits. That wasn't such a chore now, was it?
