Update on bodywork ***Pictures***
Well the car has been in the bodyshop for two weeks now. Here is some progress pictures, I was told the car should be reeady possibly next week.
Side shot of the car........
(sitting next to a 65 mustang)
Moldings delete, badges will be also with custom Nickel badges in their place.
Rear bumper cover removed awaiting new one to be installed and Tail light panel removed getting the berger panel treatment with badges delete.
Front bumper cover removed awaiting new one.
Some hidden damage behind the driverside wheel well that will be repaired, this was the only suprise........
Overall the work is coming along and am very eager to get my showroom new car back home soon. The t top panel was getting sanded and ready to replace the old hard top one that I cut doing my t top conversion. I was even told that he would fix a few places under the car where there is some surface rust. This guy doesn't miss a thing, I guess when he said it would be just like the day it came out of the showroom he wasn't kidding. Not bad for $2100 bucks!!

NICE!! I need to get mine done as well... Can't wait to see it finished.
You should have him fill in your key holes on the door and paint the mirrors red too to match the car
. I want to have mine done like that.
