Mark, the pictures were e-mailed to me from the blasting facility and I gotta admit I just posted them and didn't consider the bandwidth. Problems? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here's what it cost me: media blasting was around $1,000. Then to have them shoot everything in the Dupont Variprime (zinc rich, etching primer) was another $1,000. So, I just spent $2,000 to get the car ready for body work (read - little to no body filler) and away she goes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Here's another closeup of the door braces built by Chris Foley.

I haven't quite used to that look. Kinda looks like a new car, but a couple of weeks from now, the 2004 Lapis Blue is gonna be sprayed!

Here's the view of the area that will need a lot of work. Will post pictures when the body guy gets this sorted out.

Interior view. This really cleaned up nicely. Look at that sound deadening material. Looks like tar paper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I thought it was tarpaper they used

Wow, such a clean car. Can I come out and play too? I'd love to see what a chassis is supposed to look like.

Dave (and anybody else up here interested) I am picking up the car Thursday and it will be in my garage for a couple of weeks before it goes to further body work and paint (yeah, who hasn't read the "Gold Plated Porsche"?)(I'm a nut, but basically harmless), so if you want to look at it, call me at the office and we will get together. 978 921-2929.

Well, the body will be great - better than new. But, the motor, the motor - I'm still wanting real bad to do that Jake Raby/Kit Carlson/Chris Foley-Tangerine Racing thing. I am talking to Chris Foley to get hooked up with Jake Raby so we can build the motor up here - I just want to build the motor within the next six months. I am going to bug these guys to hopefully have a running car again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

Looking great William!

You've inspired me to post the new pics of my tub. Maybe later...
