I finished stripping down the formula this week and it left for the body shop today. The body man/painter said one to two months but I have never met a body/paint guy who told me the truth, so we will see. This is a real formula 400, 4 speed car that was originally castillion bronze with deluxe sandlewood interior. I am not doing a frame-off restoration, mostly because the original engine and trans were gone when I got the car, and also because I intend to drive and enjoy the car and I want to keep the cost down. Therefore, my intent will be to build a nice driver. Fortunately, this car is very solid with no rust issues at all, (although I have not pulled the front and rear glass yet). While the car is gone I will work on restoring parts to be installed when the car returns. I'll post as I go because I'm sure I will have a ton of questions.
