Last August I posted that I had entered my 7o vert into a body shop that had aggressively started working on it and started to drill out floor pans "welds" and take off body panels. They were aggressive for about 2 days and then zip for the next 6 months. My car was moved around the shop 3 seperate times with me following it, pulling the engine, trans, gas tank ect.. Had it sand blasted about a month ago and there it sat, waiting.
I found a HOT ROD builder that is retired and works out of his garage building 1930's and 40s hot rods. He now has my car since Tues 3/11. Borrowing his trailer, I pulled the car to his garage, not high tech but he has already replaced inside frame rails, passenger floor pans and installed the passenger seat riser. Drivers side is almost cut and drilled and we will work through the weeked.
This will not be a concours restoration or a ECI clone. We are patching frame rails and pans where ever we can. I will post pics as things have moved quickly and have not taken pics with my camera. I have left 2 disposable camers with him as he will document the build.
