Bill Says: It is now time to organize your restoration by writing down a high level plan.  A good plan is a critical ingredient for success.

He suggest you first jot down your ideas as "one liners". Below is our list:

OUR BASIC GOAL - Keep car as original as possible while adding safety, dependability and creature comforts features.

1) Insulate and sound deaden unseen surfaces wherever possible.

• Inside the doors

• Under the headliner

• Under floor mats

• Inside of the firewall (under the dash)

2) Only use replacement parts which look like the original from the factory, are truly NOS or have been rebuilt wherever possible.

• New Heater

• New Steering Column Boot

• New Floor Mats from KFOCI Manufacturing Fund

• New Headliner

• New wide white wall tire

• New wiring harness

• Add Rear Window Ventilators

• Add Fog Lights

• Add Accessory Lights under the dash

• Add Stainless Wind shades for doors

• Add outside air vent kits (Both Sides).  These some of these parts will have to be restored.

• Add Oil Filter Kit

5) Replace all of the braking components and use silicone brake fluid.

6) If it becomes necessary to rebuild the engine, add hardened valve seats.

7) Do all the work ourselves, or with the help of our friends.

8) Have final paint applied by professional painter.
