Mike - the hope is to debut the car in Wichita.
Drew - not much metal work needed, just some around the rear window/package tray.
Chris - oh yeah, no body side moldings going back on. That's the only option not being " restored"
I'm going for survivor car with one repaint. All door jambs and under hood/trunk are left untouched, original paint. Those will show original factory overspray and paint runs!
Car is incredibly solid, will have all original OEM equipment in place as it left the factory. Only new items will be headliner, carpet and rear package tray. I need to track down some pewter carpet, or something close so I can dye it the correct color. I am finishing up my bucket seats now, using original pewter from donor seats from 4slash6 and my originals. I took in all 4 covers to be sewn up and came back with two nice original seat covers.
Steve Schappaugh in Lincoln is doing the body/paint. I can't wait!
Here's a before pic, as I dropped her off.
