I was trying to keep all the post of the car separated by body part during\u00a0restoration. This has become way to cumbersome. So instead I will just be posting them by photo gallery batches. I will also make some text updates when ever appropriate. New pics are ontop. Scroll down for older pictures.<\/p>\n

Went and drop off some parts and picked up my old bumpers. They had sprayed a little more color on the car. Here are a few more pics I snapped with my phone. Car is supposed to be back together in the next couple weeks.<\/p>\n

Went and dropped off a few small parts. They happened to be putting the first paint on the car jambs. My stupid phone only saved 1 pic, so that is all you get today.<\/p>\n

Went to day to make the final payment before the paint. I will have to pay for that after the job is done. They had some concern about how the rear spoiler fit since its a generic spoiler. Getting close. Good thing cuz I am getting broke.<\/p>\n

WOW, 7 months. How the hell did that happen. Anyway, its looking a lot more like a car. It is all one color now. Body guy got fired, so had to wait on a replacement guy. Looks like he does good work too.<\/p>\n

Here are some pics, sorry for the quality, they were taken with my cell phone. The carpet was taken out. Not as bad under there as I feared. Hole in the divers floor, and a couple small ones in front of the back seat. You can see the Crites fiberglass hood mounted to the hinges, finally. Looks like it lines up good.<\/p>\n

\nWent to the body shop today and dropped off a set of chrome bumpers , front bumper brackets, and a rocker panel. Below are the pics I have uptodate. There are more, but the body shop owner can not seem to get them off his pc or camera. I am going to go up and try to get them off myself.<\/p>\n
