Pictures from the body shop.
                        It actually has suspension under it again!!! I am very pleased we have not had any hailstorms so the body shop could devote time to her car. |

WOW!!! basically a full off restoration now, and why not!! while you are there, so this will be done and ready to go this year next fall for Octeenerfest?! that chassis had a lot of miles on it, so cool to see it get that kind of a refresh, a blessing in disguise - no one ever wants their car or their body to go thru what you did, but the silver lining here is a new car! |

This is the car that took an elephant to its ASS, correct?
Just WOW! SOOO NICE! That deserves something besides a T4 in it. A RAT T4 would work! So would a W12... |

Are you gong to leave the suspension as the body shop installed it?

QUOTE(76-914 @ Mar 12 2024, 08:56 AM)  Are you gong to leave the suspension as the body shop installed it? No. Once it comes home, it will get a full overhaul of the suspension. The body shop had to put it back on wheels to be able to remove the bracing they installed for the rotisserie. And I don't think it is going to make Okteenerfest this year. I have lots of work to do on it before it will be even close to road worthy. |

Clay what happened to the ribbing on the inner rocker? Was it covered by some kind of stiffener?
