This is the status of my restoration project which is in the hands of Todd and Ken at Xtreme Restorations in North Smithfield, RI. Ready for paint soon and hopefully ready for the road soon as well.

Thanks, Xtreme is doing a bang up job. The previous link is to pre-restoration photos.

Wow! That looks great... I'm really starting to prefer the look of the 1st gen flat hood cars. I never cared for them in the past and in the last year or so I've started to love the look of them. I've always loved the integrated turn signals in the front fenders and always dreamed of doing a graft with bumper less front end on one of my cars but now I really do love the way they look maybe even more so then the later big bump, tube bumper cars. Great work and attention to detail. Can't wait to see her all finished! Good Luck.

Thanks Giuseppe, the body is going into the paint stall today for the original racing red # 120. I'll post as soon as I get them. Gregory in RI

I have a 69 I am restoring also. Its in about the same state as yours. Just a little behind ya. I went back with the original dark yellow. Last really big hurdle is installing the new electrical system. Hopefully I will have that complete in a week or so.

That is looking great.
What have you used for the new floor lining in your trunk / boot?

I'm not sure. I'll ask the guys today and let you know later. Just to let you and everyone know, this is turning into a complete concourse restoration. It'll be shown but my primary intention was to enjoy driving it during the fair weather seasons in New England which is what I'm going to do. I've put too much into it to let it sit in a garage.

If anyone has more questions for Todd and Ken at Xtreme, let me know.
