'61 Lakewood aka "Project Lucy"
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2009 11:05 pm
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.
