Thanks, can't take all the credit. We sent it to a pro for the final body prep and paint.

Took a lot longer and cost 3 times more than expected, but isn't that always the way a big project goes.

The final product did come out really well and it's great to see it on the road. Not sure if I would tackle another one, well, maybe a '70 Boss......

Looks great!

Amazing how much money you have to spend on build up just to get the metal thickness to be right... not couning the brass and all to fill!!

How many times did you have to shim the body to get all right??

Great work...

Whats next!

More on and off with fenders, bumpers etc. than I can count, building up and grinding edges for a good gap, lots of time + figuring out where all the stuff in the parts pile removed 3 years ago....go...

Whats next?

This nice, still original '88 should be getting some love this winter.

Big, nasty puzzle!
