Well this Saturday I finished up the underside of the chassis from the firewall forward and the driver side suspension components (passenger side were done earlier). Next weekend I'll pull the stuff off the engine and get those and the engine cleaned up a bit, then I'll start on the core support and radiator.
I also had a bodyshop owner stop in the weekend before Thanksgiving and he looked her over very closely. He said he had no problem assembling the panels to set gaps and do the final blocking to insure everything is straight and level, spraying the car in white sealer, applying the black around the stripe area, using the templates to layout the stripe, apply the fine line tape for the pinstripe, then blowing the body apart to continue the stripe into the door jamb areas like I want and then apply the white and the then the 2B red.
He said currently he was covered up but would love to take her on if he could work it into his schedule. He said he would prefer to do restorations over collision repair but the moneys in the crank 'em out panel replacements and spray jobs. I told him I'm well aware of that problem but would love for him to consider it and let me know something after the first of the year when I hope to have her ready for the next foray into a shop for final bodywork and paint.
FINGERS CROSSED AGAIN!!
MORE TO COME....
