As you can see, they have taken the car off the rotissiere to work on some panels (especially the rear panel under the lid) they couldn't do otherwise. Small bump in the back has been hammered out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

Every time I stop by, they are sanding and shaping. Hours and hours of labor in this body. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

This car will have a concours paint job. Then we have to rechrome the bumpers, wet sand and buff the trim, etc., etc. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif)

Atech Professional Auto Body in Peabody, MA. They make their money doing collision work, but take on one or two full blown restorations for "interesting" cars per year. The last car they did a ground up restoration on was a big block Shelby Mustang. I love these guys willingness to go the extra, extra mile. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

Yeah, Jim (the owner) wanted to try and replace the seam sealer that was removed in the rustoration process. Especially in the trunk, I found rust under what appeared to be good seam sealer, I would pull it out and it had allowed water to seep under and rust in a hidden process. Remember, Chris Foley tig welded up a lot of small pin holes and Jim sprayed/brushed seam sealer in the trunk (and on the floor pan) to duplicate the factory look.

Paint work has started. They shot the bottom of the car first so we could install the powder coated suspension and then have a "roller" as they paint the top of the car. These pictures don't do the paint job justice. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Over the next 4 or 5 days hopefully the new suspension will go together and the car will be back on its suspension and wheels for the first time in 2 years. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
