I actually can't remember the last time I talked to him

I guess the nice thing about living on the east coast is when you need a parts car, there are rusty donors worthy of being parted out around, instead of nice rust free cars here on the west coast lol

Still working the metal at this point. Here is a shot of the roof with the antenna hole filled and pulled. It won't need much filler. (as a reminder, the CHP moved the roof antenna to the trunklid on the SMPVs.)

As I may have said before, the passenger door is not worth saving. The lower portion is deep with filler:

Whereas the driver's door is slightly rippled but still salvageable:

The front part of the driver's side rocker still needs a gentle pull:

Finally, the new nose was placed for effect (it still needs to be stripped):

The passenger side apron needs to be tackled, but progress can still be seen.
