Title: New guy...restoring all original '65 GS vert...
Post by: pullejo on September 30, 2012, 04:21:28 AM
I can't believe it took me so long to find this group.

I'm in the process (10 months in) of restoring my father's all original '65 vert (3 sp).

Mark Reeves (then and now auto) is doing all the work.  We're doing all but a rotisserie.

Happy to be here and will share some pics - we're about a month out of being done!

Glad you found the site. A 3 speed vert is like hen's teeth. Glad you are saving the car. We love pictures.

Some trim... and the top is about all that's left....

20 months... too much money to talk about... but she's going to be amazing.

15" Rally wheels (6" 235/70 up front, 8" 275/60 in back BFG RWL) showed up today.

Still waiting on a set of original big bird caps to show up.

Side shot sitting on the original 14" "knockoffs"

With the 15" rally wheels she's going to look amazing.
