Well now the wet sanding starts tomorrow!! :( Just one more step in the process. I hope you guys aren't getting tired of seeing this process evolve, but I think it might help other like me that were afraid to do something like this!! Just six months ago, I would have never done this, but the $$ factor, and the want to learn has tought me so much!! Now to put it all back together!!, I think I might sit back a drink a few tonight. This car has taken my blood, sweat, and even some tears (after it decided to eat my fingers). It's 0' beer 30 now!! :party: :party:

This is how it looked last June, when I bought it.

This is how it looked last Sept. when I started this process.

Masked and ready for new Monza red paint early this AM.

Paint on at 11:00 AM today.


This is how it looks now at 5:30 PM

Thanks again to all that have helped answer my questions, and hope to see many of you at the cruise in in May.

Looks great. I have a lot of respect for folks that bite the bullet and do for themselves. You get a lot of pride in the car that way....not to mention knowledge. If you have any aditional pictures I'd like to see them. I'm doing my 75 Stingray from the lug nuts up (full body off). I finished building my last work bench yesterday and the body support frame. Yeah-Ha.
