amazing work Jeff, top notch on restoring such a iconic car

love the attention to detail on getting things the way you want it.

Can't wait to see the finished product! Thanks for sharing!

Well it's nearing completion of work at the body shop, I was a bit unhappy with the finish on the hood and trunk so they are going to sand and re-clear those panels as well as polish a few other places. I've got some black-out tape to go on the door b-pillars and they are going to undercoat the wheel wells all around and apply some sealer on the rear quarter to wheel housing seam, similar to how new cars are. I also got in some thicker clear 3M film to apply in front of the rear wheels, I'll draw up the patterns when I get the car back. Reassembly starts next week!

truly awesome. in for moar

Jeff Lange · 09-25-2013, 04:45 PM

So it's been a tad busy at the shop lately, so my car's been getting worked on a bit slowly, but it's almost ready to leave the body shop so I can start reassembly. The hood has been reclearcoated, the trunk was repainted and they've installed a bit of the glass and got the blackout tape on the door b-pillars. I think the quarter glass should be going in today or tomorrow, so I hope I can get it back on Friday or Saturday. Then I can start the long process of reassembly next week.

I've got new window mouldings coming in today and I've also ordered a bunch of other bits and pieces (clips, screws and cushions, etc.).

Looking forward to seeing more parts installed on the car, sorry about the dust!

oh wow.... that is awesome.... one thing I gotta ask....cars out of the 80s all have the same '80s' smell..... does this smell like new car now???

Jeff Lange · 10-03-2013, 03:46 AM

It never really had much of a smell to be honest. It's pretty neutral.

Well they're not final pics, but I did install some parts on the car today.

Why didn't you paint the front and rear bumpers? "Not OEM?" Also, Is your uncle still with you? Is he excited about it?

That looks incredible.
