Well, both rockers are done, doors have been hung, rear panels are done and tail section is complete. Shop is now concentrating on the front end and are having some difficulties getting the fenders to align properly. Seems that the car was hit at some point and the left front frame rail got tweaked a bit. They have been pulling on it to get it back in place. Wish they had done this before they hung the new panels in the rear.













After they get the doors swinging and panels aligned, they will cut for flares and take it in to be primed.



Waiting to go on....bumper going to Dave Varco in exchange for a newly plated one.

Big brakes


I have tried to ride these guys, but unfortunately, insurance work takes priority and mine seems to get bumped on and off the rack quite a bit. It's been frustrating to say the least. I was really hoping to get it back by September 1st so that I could get the interior and glass back in in time for the Vintage get together in Herndon on the 30th. Doesn't look like I will have it back in time to show it......but, I still plan on attending the event.
