Ultra update
Hey everyone,
Here is some update pix of my car.
well i decided that since half the car was going to get painted i would do the whole thing since there were flaws that i didnt like in it.
here are a few pix of it getting stripped down to the metal. the glass and some of the other panels to come off/out next week. hopefully she is done before the winter chill sets in for one more meet up.

this shop called botetourt collison. It's run by a bunch or rednecks that only build and restore classic muscle cars for shows and collectors. They did samantha's step dads 68 chevelle ss. So that's why they were ok with me and took in my car. Lol
