In the shop for rust repair, and remove the Pacific Ocean from the doors and fenders. In shop on First of Oct., was told it would be done in November, I said Dec., but than I said in realality, it would be in Jan. Here it is Jan. and its almost done. Classic white stripes needed than color sand and buff

Looks GREAT and SOO familiar!

After 4 months My Chevelle is coming Home TODAY. Saw it last night to be sure that the Painter and I are on the same page on finishing touches. Looks like we are so this afternoon I will be driving my car home. :hurray:
Than the full interior install will start

[Hi-po SS 454]

Well the Home Coming has finally come after 4 months of on and off lost sleep and chasing parts and paint codes.
The Painter did an excellent job of blocking, leaving a real nice straight body, and smooth and SHINY as all hell paint job...
Now my labor begins to get the Interior back in and detail everything under the hood, since it took a beating with over spray..
