Hi Jon, when you wrote me about the plans with your car i didn´t think you would go that crazy with it! It´s really amazing!  I´m really looking forward to seeing it "live"! It´s always cool to see cars like yours which have looked very good before and then are torn apart anyway to make it look even better or - in your case - simply cleaner!  Please keep on the great work and make sure to share the pics with us! BTW: topics like this are the reason I love this place - all those guys here are at least as "stupid" as I am! Bye, Tobi |

Thanks guys, this is really overwhelming!  Shubee you are so right when you say you need pictures of these work-hours. They are already forgotten at this stage, all I have now is a rust free car like you guys. Something I probably could have bought in the first place. But since I never "give up" on a car or sell them, I can justify the hours to myself. I hope I can follow thru to the end an get a cal-looker worth its salt, but I fear it will NOT even come close to the detailing on your car Tobi.  |

An small hour later, destroyed for ever! Another NOS piece hits the dust for the LOOK! This concludes my trim removing. Next on the to do list is the wings, repair and shaving. |

Thanks Zach! No, the ventilation windows are staying, but whether they will retain the chrome finish is uncertain |

Thanks guys!! I hope to see you all at Bug In this summer, hopefully in this car..  Got to work on what i thought was the worst fender tonight, but I guess it was better than I thought. Just one dent in the all important fender edge, near the rear apron. There was also a little crack that faced my welder. And on the other end someone had used a angle grinder to cut the bolt /fender of a car. After letting in a piece its ready for the sand/media blasting. Took me ages to find this right rear fender, but now its sorted! The rear corner after weld... the "real" body man will make it good I hope |
