Rear extensions are almost done too. All the body work is done on the fenders and they are in first coat of primer. He had me bring the doors today. Hood and deck lid go week after next. Body two weeks later. Heβs thinking done by November πππ€π€πππ·π· That looks a lot darker than it is in person.Β Looking good!ππ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Seats are officially at the Upolstry shop. Letβs see what kind of catastrophe this brings. My head is really starting to hurt. Lol. I currently have only one thing on this car that I can work on. The grill. Everything else is done or in someone elseβs hands.Β 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
