My 64 Polara 500

[lxmodguy]

I am new to the site. I just bought a 64 polara 500. 1 owner (or 1 family) car it's entire life. Original paint, interior, motor, trans, etc. It is exceptionally straight, rust free and original.

Thanks, it has been a long time since I have restored a car. I am looking forward to it though.

best of luck,

I find I cannot do the things I used to do to my cars...
just too old , not "up" on what's "hot" right now...so...

This site gives me much more knowledge & general knowledge
to make right choices!

I am sick of chevy camaros, nova's &350's with power glides...
to the point of being ill :werd:when i see one.

so Welcome guy,

Welcome aboard ... Excellent purchase ... welcome to the 64 Polara club ... it looks like you will be dealing with the cowl issues just like the rest of us.

I didn't see anything around the cowl. Did you see something in the pictures I didn't see?

Welcome to site, now unbury that car so we can see the whole thing, lol!!

Could just be my old eyes but I think I see rust stains along the seam between the cowl and the firewall ... the seam below the voltage regulator

I think it was just grease and dirt. I looked the car over pretty well and the only rust was on the top of the quarter below the drip rail.

I plan on going to bare metal so I guess I will find out

I added a couple more pics to the link above. I am starting to rub on the paint, amazingly the original paint is coming back.
