Thanks guys,

More to follow on paint over winter. Got a great painter!

Espen, it has been a long time!

I expect a spring/summer completion for the POCI show.

now THAT would be nice. Both year GT-37s represented at POCI, which is in our back yards. Can I park mine next to yours to get some of the overflow foot traffic? :-)

Nice Mike, looks like almost ready to roll in that booth. Looks like some other intertesting toys under the plastic in that shop.

Espen,

That is a fitment only photo shoot. Body work and paint prep needs to happen. It will be painted apart. Hoping to be in color by Feb...

Norm,

Busy shop with lots of cool A body cars.

Not sure on the events on trying to out run cops and street racing. But, it sure looks like buck shot in the rear?



Nothing a little metal patching won't make right. But, this car did live the good life!

Good question Lloyd. Not sure but it is square cut, which is rare to not be round?

Anyways, I'm in search of a rear metal package tray and seat back due to an earlier roll cage.

Anyone got a donor rear section with a nice uncut for speakers or just nice??

Need to do a junkyard run in AZ soon....

How far does the rear shelf panel need to extend? I may have a nice one already cut out.

Yes, there are several nice cars at Darrell's shop. Looks like 3 current members have cars there right now.

Here is a better fix. This is a typical A body rust area. This one wasn't bad, but still needs to be repaired.



Hidden behind the pin holes..





Inside work is critical.



The outside money shot...
