Well after a year and a bit the car is back on the ground and a roller. Its off to the body shop tomorrow i cant wait to see how it looks when i get it back.

Take some pics of it getting painted for us. It'll look gorgeous when your done.

Got a call from the body shop today. the car has been painted twice, no surprise there. But the doors are off the trunk lid is in primer and the car is in bare metal. NO RUST ANYWHERE. LOL ... Will be drilling and gluing studs in hood scoop tonight, then drill holes in hood etc mount scoop and haul it off to body shop.

Wow, no rust.

Yep is a 20,000 mile original car. And has been in heated dry storage the last 13 years.

Car has been at body shop for 2 weeks, they are getting ready to block it a second time. I am getting excited. lol Need to make up one more parts order. I need carpet front door panels, trunk mat, weather strip. Also a body gasket kit.

Here are some pics from the body shop. They will be painting the car this week they hope. Fenders are all repaired, doors are back on jams are done.

Its got paint.

Wow, very nice. Now, the fun begin...

Yes not the task of rebuilding it. This is going to be time consuming. I hate working on cars with new paint.

The vinyl top is now painted, and i placed a big parts order for all the interior and body stuff i needed . R/T Specialties and Legendary auto interiors. Great service.

Looking good Sheldon. Looks like she'll be ready for next season.

Yes Dan if i give er shit this winter in the garage and get it all assembled it will be running by spring. I am scared so will be masking and covering everything so i dont ding the paint.

Have you decided what size carbs you're going to run if you're still going with the tunnel ram intake?

I found a set of 600 vac secondaries in the usa looking to buy them

Spoke to Body shop yesterday, they are delivering the car Sunday morning. will take pics and post them.

Kinda like waiting for the Heinz ketchup to pour out of the bottle isn't it?

Yes it is. lololol

Hey Sheldon, Where's the pictures ???

Well i need to go buy a camera now. lol i got rid of the I phone, and my work phone doesnt save the pictures in a Jpeg format.

I started to wipe everything down under the car, started to repaint things that were covered in over spray. Was out polishing the chrome door handles and mirrors etc. Figured out where to mount the fuel pump under the car etc. will get things rolling here soon, once everything is pretty under the car again, parts can start going on. Will be ordering carpet and trunk mat soon too.

Well underneath is all clean and painted again. Mount the gas tank next and figure out where to put electric pump etc. Run fuel line etc.

Pictures coming JG As soon as the new camera shows up.

Oh Carpet and trunk mat are on the way too.
