    Well, I tried to attach the PDF printouts but it didn't work. Basically the peak HP was 401 at 5400 RPM and peak Torque was 496 at 3600 RPM. That is dyno adjusted for sea level since we're a mile high.

    Finally, the car is back from media blast and ready to get back to work on. All in all I'm very pleased with the condition, the is a small amount of rust behind the passenger rear wheel and some old body work near the driver's tail light and also on the driver's door. Here's an interesting thing, it looks like the welder at the factory on the driver's side had a bad day or didn't finish on a Friday or something. We found several area on that side that were never welded from the factory. The most significant is the shock tower. No worries though, nothing major and all easy to fix, I've attached a few pics.

     :feedback: I went back to fix my pictures but they are already all right side up on my computer. Does anyone know why they would be turned all around in the post?  :clueless:

    I usually have to orient my pictures via paint or photoshop to get the right angle. As to why it changes when you post -  :clueless: thats a good one.

    What I will say is even with the issues you have you have found an excellent body to begin with. I wish I was that lucky.

    Keep up the good work Jim!

    It has been a little while since I've posted an update but work has progressed. After fixing the missing welds and making a few other repairs the bottom and engine compartment were sealed up with epoxy primer and color was added. Very exciting to see, here are a few pics.
