The project was shelved for a while until I found a new shop to do the work. I'm bringing the car down to Outlaws Rod & Custom next week to get an estimate for the remaining work. I've checked out their shop and their work and had the owner check out my car at my house. They are building some great cars down there and I've been impressed with how they treat their customers. So I'd be hoping to see some progress shortly after if all goes well.
