Re: 1971 LeMans Sport project car

Interior will be black. Exterior haven't decided for sure. Thinking like (i think its called) sunburst orange. Regardless something gaudy and wouldn't be seen today but fits the 70s.

Some good progress today. Got rid of all rust on the floor, laid down primer and then did sound deadening on the portions that were painted. Still need to do sides and doors and trunk and if I feel like it, ceiling. Don't have pics of the sound deadening (it looks ugly anyways right now). I have carpet coming this week but I might not get to working on it next weekend. Also looking for new front buckets (won't be anything close to original) and possibly a more comfortable rear seat. Haven;t decided on that, though.

Anyways, pics of some progress:

Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of the final before painting. Oh well.

Tired, sore, and dehydrated, but overall this is the funnest I have ever had on a car. Always wanted a project car, just never had the resources before. Next update it should start actually looking nice (at least the interior).
