OK....got the car back yesterday and dropped off doors, hood, and decklid. Car came out nice. Get this, I'm unloading the car from the trailer and it starts raining! Ugh! I got the car in the garage and dried it off....looks like I'm not in too bad of shape. I have some pinholes to fill on the floors and I'm going to get the underside primed.

Here's one shot so you can see what you can expect if you send your car out to get blasted. This was $1100 worth for just the unibody and I took it down there on my own rotisserie.
