I finally have a few minutes to even visit this site. Having a 6 month old baby sure changes your life!

I have some photo's from the body shop and thought I would share them to anyone who cares.

It won't be long and I will be bringing her home!

Thanks for the kind words - this has definately been a labor of love. I was so lucky to find out someone I can trust and is giving me one heck of a great deal for the complete body work and paint job.

I love this color of blue. I saw it on the new Nissan 350Z and thought how great it would look on the 'bird. It is called Daytona Blue.

I will definately post more pictures as he sends me more. He takes photo's after every change they make.

I will update the Showroom when it is done.

Looks fantastic. I love people that keep the older birds going. You might already be doing this, but if not, do yourself a favor and put in new door hinge bushings while you have the door off.

I actually had my local Ford dealer find all new hinges for the doors. The part the holds the door open is not replaceable, so I just replaced the entire hinges.

This has definately been a long road and a labor of love.
