    Posting these progress pics for Bill Van Steen

    I could only WISH to be this close to being finished with my car....

    Bill picked this up 4 years ago and it's been off the road since 1983.

    72 GS 455 Cortez Gold with a white top and interior. Options include buckets, console, tilt wheel, cruise control, A/C and power disk brakes.

    Looks as though Bill's giving it it's "just due"... :TU:

    Bill, whenever you want to start another project give me a hollar. I could only wish to have my car as nice as yours. Maybe it'll sway me over to have my car get a frame-off restoration, considering I'll be keeping it forever.
