The wait for body shops begins and now it the right time to start working on trim that was removed from the car.

Will try to save and restore majority of parts.

Waistline belt trim was bent on several places so we straighten it out before it goes to galavanize shop.

Mask is also in bad shape but can be repaired nicely (we will see that). We took it apart and straighten what was bent. One slot fell off and few others are barely hanging.

Grill, rear light frames, door handles were also taken apart

We have taken both bumpers apart to start working on dents. Inner side has several layers of paint applied so will have them sandblasted from inside before de-chroming.

I got spare tank next to the car so I had both tanks sandblasted to see all the holes. The tank that was on the car was heavily repaired already so I will use bigger tank I think it will fit since measurements are the same except the volume.
