Been working on the Ventura trying to have it ready for Spring. I removed all the stainless moldings as well as the roof rail moldings and back glass. I'm going to paint the top Coronado Red, an original two tone color offered in 1960, then polish all the stainless and reinstall the back glass with a new gasket. The windshield was just put in prior to my purchase so I am working around it. I also pulled all the bright work including bumpers and am dropping it at the chrome shop in the morning. Also have the interior gutted, front seat is being fixed with original materials as well as door panels. No one is makeing seat covers or door panels for this year right now so I am fixing what I have. The new items I can get I ordered from Ames Performance, carpet, kick panels, package tray, headliner, trunk mat, trunk sides cardboard. Also the wheels I picked. Here's a few pics.

Wish I had one of those when I was growing up. Then I'd have a reason to find one for my collection!
