Sorry for your loss Scott, I lost my mom last November and I find myself thinking about her all of the time.

Sorry about your loss, your story of picking up the hobby seems to be quite a common thread... my dad has a picture of me at about 3 years old with my blanket in the back of a 1940 Ford 2 Tudor Sedan taking it apart... mom wasn't amused that I learned to use a screwdriver for within the week I had removed every striker plate, door knob, and electrical outlet cover I could reach and apparently they never found all the screws!
Coming from someone who tries to ensure a car I restore exhibits the qualities displayed by survivors which I have been around (dipped parts with runs, light sprayed areas, oozing sealer, painted edges on chrome and or aluminum valve covers, misted over spray on grilles etc...
Would the interior be replaced in your restoration? Probably a huge market for an interior in that condition. I'm still trying to justify the Historic loss of the the production anomalies and variances... Yes the car shows the variances in the current state and they can be photographed, documented, and otherwise noted, however will they be replicated... Such as the light spray(white misted) on the fender apron drops into the engine compartment?

Firstgenaddict,

We will restore the car as close to our documentation of it as in its original state ...... the interior will be used in restoration, we will replace carpet, restore gauges and restuff front seats, headliner will be replaced as it is damaged. We will post amazing detailed pictures of car now that it is disassembled and the undercarriage is completely clean...... it came out amazing!!!

Thank you very much everyone for the nice comments about my Dad, I would also like to thank Mr. Cook personally for his very nice private message, thank you Darrell for your message, meant a lot to me, your a classy guy, much respect!

Merry Christmas everyone [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I will defend Scott on this Topic. Almost all of these survivors are old worn out cars that have been puffed. The ones that have be preserved since new, that's a different story. With this SD we know Exactly what we have and so will the future owners. We have taken over 700 detailed teardown pictures. We also have saved over 500 hours of body labor by starting with this clean original car. Compared to most of the restored junk we start with. We just almost got burnt on a restored numbers matching 69 L89 By not knowing the history or bones of the car. P.S. if anyone knows the Whereabouts of my old Silver 69 Z/28 Survivor please contact me. I would love to have it back and do a full Mascar level restoration on her.

Scott, I was checking my semi-functional cellphone and it looks like you left a message on it a while back. Please give me a call again and I will be happy to trade SD455 info.

I wouldnt hold my breath on someone selling you the car back knowing itll get restored without you forking over crazy stupid money for the car.. We need a survivor preservation protection act in place.. Time to write the Senate and Representatives..
