What it looked like when I bought it back |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Put the pieces back on it just to see what I had. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lots of stuff just thrown in |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Shouldn't take too long to fix up |
|

took it to a guy to do the body work and paint. It sat like this for almost 8 months. All he did was the front clip and some trim. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Decided I could do it all myself. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Had to redo what he had done. Fenders with PPG epoxy primer waiting for paint. |

Got the firewall,dash,jambs,and lots of trim done. Two coats red base and three coats clear. All PPG products. |
