A Hoodlum Update

[3elements]

I posted back in June when a local couple saw my Sahara '74 and gave me their wrecked Sahara '76.

Here's a before and after. My first stab at serious bodywork and painting, and while the Pebble Beach crowd won't be quaking in their boots, I'm pretty happy with the results.

Now onto some suspension work, and getting it ready to autocross in the Spring.

Man thats a nice job

Well done, be proud. Anyone can pay someone to do anything but to do it yourself, priceless.

Nice work.

Gonna pop in a Firefly episode in your honor.

Great job, Steve!

I've always wanted to give bodywork a shot. Maybe one of these I'll go crazy with the Schwarz E21.

Wow! I am very impressed! and I own a bodyshop! Good job!

They're going to want it back....

I'm going to take it over this weekend and show them. George was the original owner and loved the car, but advancing years were catching up with him (hence the crash...)

I'm hoping he'll be really happy to see it back on the road and not crushed or parted out.

Thanks for all the kind words!

Wow!

Looks like you're all set for vintage rallies with the numbers.

Take the old owner out for a drive around Sheep Ranch or similar roads.

Be proud.
