Mine..

Here's mine, on surface not as bad but a ton of mismatched stuff under the hood! Brakes etc. lots of little things too. But, plenty of time to get it all fixed up.

now that looks great!
 
Picked this up in Oklahoma 11 years ago, stored it for 9 and started restoring 2 years ago, should be done this year by June, hoping the $$$ holds out, have pretty much everything to finish it except engine rebuild, waiting for winter to go bye bye so I can get going on it. It's a 1969 Plymouth Satellite Convertible, 383, Auto, A/C, Cruise, 81,000 miles, color F5, body(protected with original paint and 2 additional paint jobs on top of each other) and frame(alot of factory undercoating) were near perfect, just took alot of hours of removal to bare metal to have a fresh start, interior soft goods were toast.
