Mike, I have a good friend in KS who is refinishing the body/paint for me. He's a magician with these cars, and although this car isn't awful, it's not great either. Looks like it was brush painted; its bad.

I'm sending a PM to you right now about the equipment!

Mike #2, thanks for the congrats! I'm glad I made it this far too!

That's going to look nice one it's painted and back. Little by little...it's coming together!

Chris, congrats on getting to this stage. Your SSP is going to look awesome! Be sure to have your friend take plenty of pictures during the work.

Ok, more neat (to me) information today.

Looking back through my title history, the farthest back I have is 1998, when the car was sold at auction and a new title was issued. Come to find out, the car was left abandoned at a storage unit in 1998, which happens to be 2 blocks from the very place that I have stored the car for the last year! (my buddy has a shop there, this is the "field" you see the car in). Unreal! Once it was abandoned, they sent it to auction, the auto parts yard in San Antonio bought the car and sold it in their car corral for $850. After that, it's been passed around like the village bicycle to every drag racer in SA.

Pretty cool. Updates will follow as I receive them.

The teardown stage... the car is pretty much stripped. Ready for the core support replacement and then lots and lots of sanding the nasty paint off of it.
