I just reread my statement and it sounds bad.  I forgot the word "not" right after would.  I hope you did not take it the wrong way.  I meant "I would not expect any less from your shop."  Tony you do great work. 

No problem. I appreciate the comment. Thank you

That's a lot of green...in more ways than one!    Looks great!    Do you have any before shots, so we can really appreciate the work?

I would like to see some before shots also to see how much work had to be done.  What is a ballpark figure to get a convertible body to this condition?  How long did this project take?  I needed some inspiration for getting my Top Banana 440 R/T convertible to this condition.  Thanks!

Took about 2 yrs to complete. He had around $22K in labor alone. This car was rough and had an earlier attempt to be restored. Very poorly I might add. Had a 72 nose on it. Trunk was made of roof pitch and tar paper. Qtrs were slapped on over rusted qtrs. The floor pans were solid but pitted. All this had to be removed and redone right.

Here are afew of the steel work. I will have to find some B4 pics.

Wow!! Thanks for the great pics!  No wonder it looks so good painted!! I look forward to seeing the B4 pics if you get a chance to post them.  This is definitely great inspiration for me on my convertible project!!

After seeing your work, I wish I had done more to my project.  Better yet, I wish you had done it!

Don't you know it TC!

I have three basket cases to revive from the dead this winter: The 69 Coronet Rt conv, another 70 Challenger conv, and a 69 Mach I. Saving one soul at a time so to speak. lol

Tony,

Mike (Coronet owner) and I just talked on when to come out to visit with you. Looks like the end of October or the first week end of November. I'm checking on flights now.
