Mama's 'new' ride

I wanted one as a teen, but I didn't think I would get one now since I have a '54 chevy to work on too. BUT there is a reason - ya see, my Jimmy sucks for gas (around town). We figured we would try a lil experiment and see how well she (Betty) does around town.

She is pretty straight. The floor pans are nice.

I told hubs that he is NOT lowering her (his bug is on the ground). Betty is mine and I am already thinking of ways to girl her out.

Been helping hubs sand his car (to get to the original color). Thinking we will 'try' sanding Betty b/c her original color is 'Sea Sand' (a pretty putty color (same as the inside).
