Got some more pictures from my buddy, they sand blasted the engine bay, raptor lined the floor, and some over all pics.

Also found some more cancer around the windshield, gonna have them remove the dash. More labor costs.....










All sandblasted out!!














Here's some of the raptor lining











Some of the car

That windshield area looks all too familiar. Looks like she is coming right along

Well, I'll be home in a few weeks and so will be the car all painted up nice and ready to be finished. I also got some more good news in that I received orders to Davis-Monthan back home in AZ. So my Dad will be able to help me finish the car!! Plus his E body guru will be able to make sure we do it right!! Should have more pictures of the car all primered and ready fro paint in a few days!!!!

I'm scheduled to be there the 19th of Sept. if all goes well, hopefully there's no set backs. Being a flyer with our own plane we don't have to wait on the rotator!!!

Scheduled for AZ or WY? I would love to drive up and see the car before you head to AZ. I will be in Pheonix in Nov too, but DM is quite a bit more south.
