The start of my 406 restoration

Well it is here.
Is it rough ? Sure but it is the cosmetic rough.
It was set up as a snow plow so there are a gizillion hoses and pumps. I was lucky enough not to need them and to have someone that needs them. They are going to come remove them soon leaving me a lot more room and less weight and doodads.
It has the Schmitd top and there is some rust there.
I have removes the doors and started weldong in some new metal.
This weekent the top comes off so that I can start on that.
I am not going to start the engine and electrical work till all the Snow Plow stuff is removed.
I am going to start with a step by step account on my website soon.
Thanks All
Rick

Nasty! - But rusty door-tops won't stop you driving the beast It looks like a nice resto project with (hopefully) nothing too serious to fix. Like you say: lots of cosmetic stuff. Please keep those photos coming - it's great to see the transformation unfold

Good luck!
