Dad's car is at the body shop

[MetroRob]

Sent her off to a good friend and capable body guy

Going Black with Pear Red two tone top adding pearl ghost flames to the black and black ghost flames on the pearl

Dixie Restorations supplied the Rubbers and the A-Pillars (Arrived)
Malibu Bob had the Dash center vents. (Arrived)
VFN Fiberglass Hood (Stingray Style)
Front and rear Bumpers Will be cut and pulled closer to the body (Waiting on)
Foose 104 Legends will also be sprayed red pearl.
Hot Rod Company 383 Stroker (Not the LS dad talked about but I have plans for that)

Now to figure out suspension


Everything should be in hand Mid to Late March One car ahead of me then its on the body is pretty straight needs some love on the quarter panels but we picked them apart a little and they shouldn't be too bad.
My 8 year olds only request is that I pick her up the last day of school and she's the first one to ride in it Kinda melts my heart as she remembers it was her who had the first ride in it after we lost the old man.

The body shop saga has been the biggest blunder for my gbody builds. I hope yours goes a lot smoother.
