Corey and crew have been pretty busy on the car. It is in final primer now. Once it drys over the weekend it should be ready for paint next week. Corey is going to try to paint the dash and steering column today. The next pics posted should be of a painted car.

We're just getting back after it today. The collision world is a whirlwind sometimes that messes up our restoration stuff!

Getting body lines correct is one of the most time consuming and important aspects of a restoration or repair. Unfortunately, in these older vehicles, even the best stamped parts often require modification due to steel stamp wear. As you can see in one photo, the "top of the line" hood had to be modified as well to match lines. It's just part of the process that bores most critics but, it's the first thing they notice if it's not dealt with.
