The Current State Of The 1969 Cutlass W-31 Project aka Mr. Jones | 100th Video and 655 Hours

In this video we head back from our Florida trip and make a pit stop at the Jones Family Residence to see the last place our Mr Jones Restoration sat for years before Joe picked it up and we started in on a complete tear down and restore. Also, current progress update on the Mr Jones project to date! We're back home and moving to the next phase of the project.
