Cool build! Not sure how I've missed it. Pontiac 455 in a Grand Prix is very cool. I'm subscribed. Body shop jail sucks but that shiny paint at the end is awesome.

It was a two sided tragedy.
The t tops rotted. Pin holes under windshield (top firewall) led to floor rotting out.

The weekend after I became gainfully employed (2009?) I started up, removing car cover and eventually carpet was a really hard day.

Happy I'm in a position to spend some $, really fortunate but validating to save her.

Body work is finally rolling. The shop hired a guy who prefers this kind of work (versus new cars).

Pan is done. All body rust has been cut out and replaced. Looks like it was good work especially bottom of doors and firewall right below windshield on each side.

Framework begins after bodywork. New bushings but need rear frame rail mounts fixed first.

I can not hardly believe I ended up pulling it off frame.

The 1st thing I did was pull the carpet.
I thought I would POR15 it and go. It had a hole.

Now Im here... wild as sh*t
