November Updates
Continuing to strip the car. The last two panels are in progress.
The right fender and right door. I’ll have these in primer later on this week.
It’s been very busy at the shop so customer jobs first.

Stripped, but will need to DA the rest of the paint off. A few dings but NO rust.
11-8-12 Bodyworked and primed NO rust on either the fender or door.
11-10-12 Block and spot prime on left side
Notice the “219” on the rear panel. Probably written as the car went through the assembly line
