History
I bought the car from a guy stationed at Whiteman Airforce Base. He said the car was from Utah.
I bought this car when I was 18 on a whim. I did not know to use a magnet to see how much bondo was actually on the car. When I kicked of my "restoration" project turns out there was over an inch in some areas. My first thought was to strip off all the old goop.
I eventually abandoned the project with 7 layers of paint stripped off (some of that was primer layers) and all the bondo. Some how my parents never junked it so I picked up the car about 4 years later.
I stored the car for almost 5 years since and recently decided to tackle the problem.
