'61 Lakewood aka "Project Lucy"

Post by mikemike »

I recently got a killer deal on a '61 Lakewood 80/4spd.

She had been sitting for 25 years in Colfax, CA.

So far I have stripped just about all of the interior. I am going to take care of all of the rust before I start driving this car. It is very hard for me, but I know that if I don't do it now I never will.

The floor pans are rusted out, in the front and rear seating areas. The original cloth headliner is toast.

I am currently in the process of sanding the inside of the roof. Then I will primer/paint, install EZ cool, and then Clark's Headliner.

I will also be replacing the floor pans with Clark's Repro floor pans.

Cool Project and a great find. There aren't many of those Lakewoods around.
