After four years, we took the '75 down from the jack stands and sent her on her way to the shop to get painted. I should have her back by the end of next week.
I painted the engine bay over the weekend. This is a huge mile stone for the restoration. Hopefully it won't take four years to put it back together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Gotta thank everyone hear for their input, advice and previous posts. It couldn't have been done without them. And if I say so myself, with all the rust replacement and body work done, it looks really good for a garage job. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(76-914 @ Nov 26 2019, 07:48 AM)  Congrats! One week turn-a-round. Wow! yeah, it's typical slow season for body shops here in San Diego so, they don't have a lot lined up at the moment. The painter just wanted to get it in and out. It is 98% ready to shoot right now, they would just need to mask it off and fix any minor imperfections we might have missed. When we said "Keep it for a month" the painter said "I don't want to look at this for four weeks" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks everyone, for the congratulations. It's still a bit surreal at the moment but, very excited about it. I'll continue to post pics as they come along. |
