When I arrived Tony the Godfather was already there. Above pics is what we saw.

Removing all remaining undercoating, resandblast some areas. Two part primer, repair the bit of rust, replace A posts skins. remove dents, maybe five small ones the size of eggs and the rear area, a ripple or so. Prime sand, prime skim as required, block sand prime. Seam sealer in all. Two coats at least of Old English White, four coats at least of clear coat. Sand between the second and third coats, buff after the last coat. Total cost 3K, time, first of Sept. We will see but I expect it should be true as he said 3 to 5 weeks. However Tony needs to get the A post pannels.

The other work in his shop was outstanding.

Rebuilt Master Cylinder arrived while I was gone, one item less.

And today the Air Filters arrived, as good looking in real life as the pic.

You forgot the lizard skin!
 
She does look good, Jack. Can't wait to see her all painted and pretty.
 
Well I think we are going to have to lean on the Godfather, Tony for future pics. At least till I go get her. That's a six or seven hour drive each way. However, Randy, the guy that owns the body shop said he would send some pics as well. But then he has lots to do and Tony is only building onto the garage, hehe, Hot out there doing that. A nice 20 min ride in his A/C pickup sounds good I bet.
 
Ordering the A post skins Monday...I'll take photos everytime I go over.
