More bodywork update Pics

Well as of Saturday there has been 250 hours spent on prep work on my restoration project. WARNING graphic photos, don't look if you are weak in the stomach. Remember what my car used to look like.........well, prep work is 90% of a paint job. I have more pictures that I'm excited about showing actual paint on the car body parts. But those will wait for the unvailing within the next week or so. I can tell you this, the paint looks second to none!! Now for those ugly pics..................................

No not at all. I just want perfection. For the price I can't believe the extent they are going to. Anyway, Here is an idea of the before..........

Pictures can be deceiving. I hide the imperfections well. What you didn't see is the passenger side, also got some spider webbing on the nose and rear. The t top conversion I did had to have the rear b pilliar replaced to an actual t top one so there is no way you will ever be able to tell other than looking at the RPO codes. Now for the picture posted above. That was after a weekend of thourghly detailing the car and using that special wash I have talked about. Now here are a few pictures, 1st is from when I got her so you can see how she started, the other is the damage from the previous owner and the reason I picked this car up super cheap..........................
