1964 collision job

#1 Post by Brett Paxton »

A fun build that just left my shop Paxton Autobody & Restorations. Came in for the collision damage in the front and ended up doing that plus door skins, media blasting the whole car, fixing all the previous dents over the years then finally painting it in the light ivory it left the Factory in back in 1964. It was a great project and we think it turned out great! Cheers!
