My 69 El Paso / New Mexico border Patrol project

Post by chester3 »

I have been a member since May but never introduced myself as a new Patrol owner. But I have been getting a lot of great information from you all through this restoration. I purchased a 69 patrol in May and I have just completed it. It was a hot summer in El Paso in my 2 stall garage but I just couldn't stop working on it. My wife helped me a lot as well (she cleaned the entire engine and frame) Huge bonus. I found it baking in the sun on a horse ranch in New Mexico. My wife and I were horse back riding and saw it sitting there and thought it would be a cool project and fun to drive around. I still have to finish the hard top and doors but I just wanted to get it done so we can drive it around. It never rains in the desert so doors and top are optional.
