I dropped the car off at a Body Shop in late October and told the owner to take his time.
I like having an empty stall in the garage to put my truck for the winter.

When the car arrived at the shop,
I went down the next day to go over what was to be done..
He went on and on about hidden surprises and finding hidden
collision damage and bondo and many layers of paint to get through.

I have owned the car since 1973, so I told him....
No Collision Damage, 1 repaint in the 80's and no bondo.

He sent me this picture yesterday, after the car got back from being blasted..

He was so damn proud he found some bondo and collision damage on the car he couldn't wait to show me.

Yeah, I did totally forget my father in law backed into it once in the late 70's with a Buick..
He did say he would like me to get a different front trunk also.. Some rust in the seams..
He is just afraid of it coming back in a few years...

Anyone local to Massachusetts have a good front trunk ??
