Thanks guys! And thanks to Loren for putting up the pictures! I would like to fire it up soon! I have already fit the nos wheel well trims up and they fit great! I ran out of time as I was going to drill the holes for them while it was on the rotisserie darn it! The quarters are very good except the right corner and the very top body line which the professional restores ground the chit out of! Nothing like paying for work that you have to spend more money on correcting! So there has been lot of discussion about miss alignment of the Gran Sport sail panel emblems. I kind have a different issue!, on my car there are the 2 round stud holes and 3 of the blade/ splade style holes with the clips still in them.These were punched at the factory! I decided to pull the clips and weld up the holes!

Thanks Jon for all the progress reports and thanks Loren for posting the pictures!

Indeed this car was in need of a lot of 'luv!

Lots of Love! Next up was a not pleasant job scraping and removing the undercoating from the rear wheel housings and the fiber board from the inside roof! Had to use a heat gun, benzomatic, and very stiff putty knife scrapers! What a bunch of nasty crap!

Next up digging out the rest of the seam sealer on the firewall! Used wire brush and knives!
POR 15 was painted on next then some chassis black. After a little dry time and  still tackie  I applied
3m seam sealer!
