Helping a buddy restore his 62 Catalina, just taking it apart but I'm sure I will need help locating and where to buy parts and how to's.

If anyone has done this I could use any information

Thanks

welcome to FP! when others are on and see this, they will love to help. they will know which catalog companies or yards for you to check out. in the meantime, have pics?

Are you looking for any specific parts?

Thanks Ghost and Ringo64, no pics yet, we are in the deconstruction phase right now and slow moving, just removed the interior and labelling everything.

The car is an all original 62 Catalina which my friend got from his aunt from San Diego that she bought brand new . It's a 4 door post, nothing special

but he's had it for a few years and let it sit outside in Ontario, Canada. needless to say the mice got to the inside and made a mess, body not in bad shape.

We are thinking of keeping it mostly original with a few upgrades like disc brakes and fuel injection to make it a nice driver. any suggestions and comments are welcomed.

Ringo64 funny that your from Naples I've been in North Fort Myers for a couple of weeks with one more to go, then heading back up north.

Very cool, can't wait to see more on the build!

Oh, nice man! How have you liked it?
