Didn’t get much complete today just the interior door pulls. The original chrome mount polished up like new! Sunday football and working on the car is a great day!

I don't think Pat has OCD, he's simply doing a correct restoration the way they should be done...amd doing an excellent job of it.
Great work Pat!

GEEEEEEEZZZ. You should have your own "HOW TO" series. I have to see this car in person. No doubt its going to be on many shows and magazines if your not a shy kinda guy.

Justin that is actaully a really clever idea . To bad they didn't do a reality tv program on Pat and his T/A .It would actually be the only decent reality tv series out there   :D
And at 60 thousand a show (thats what the going rate is I think) ,look at all the extra T/A's Pat could buy !

  Yeah seriously. I wish everything was recorded and made into a weekley show. Even the weekend shows dont have the quality that this car is going to have. They do alot of nice work but rarely do they worry about every detail on their "resto"rebuilds.

Next car I’ll video each step and post links to Youtube, not! It would take 5 years to do the same car.lol

 Last night I installed the shifter and the interior rear side panels & sail panels 
Thanks!
Pat
