Well, I'll explain. My Best friend has a body shop and it's been in an out of there for the past twenty years for
different stages of it's restoration. In 2011 I had the car blasted underneath at his shop by another friend that
had a Sandblasting and painting business. I was still working at good ole G.E., so I could only work on it on the
weekends. I suddenly became "Retired" in 2014 and started to really accomplish some progress. One day, My
friend's Wife came in and said that she wanted my car out of the shop. Whaaaaa???? My Buddy looked at me
and said, "Hey, if it were up to me, . . . .
So I took al my **** home in the next couple of days and did the rest of the prep work in my garage at home.
It was a real pain in the ***, being spoiled with having the run of a body shop for so long, but hey, I've gotta
getter done! I found another local guy who does very nice work with a shop and he's gonna squirt it for $2500.00-$3000.00.
Alot of masking and very little prep on his part. It kills me that I'm not painting my own car but I'm not painting
it in my garage. When my friend's Wife drops dead, well, I suppose we'll get together again! Until then I'm on my own.
Being on this Forum reading all of your posts keep me going and keeps me excited with what I will have when I'm
done. The hard work is behind me. Soon, I'll have to figure out where all these parts go! It's been fourty-five years
since I took her apart! Dat's my story and I'm stickin with it!
