We should have the body back from the blaster in a couple days. This clown has told us it would be ready by now, only to push the date back several times... not happy about that, but I think he's actually close this time.

We suspected some rust issues on this car, and honestly, I think Lou has the best outlook one could have in this situation. On one hand, you don't like to see it the shoddy repairs, but it is worse to pass it along to someone else. He also has a great point how their "first life" with the car was fun, and now our crew will have the opportunity to right the wrongs of time and make the body worthy of the mechanical features of the car. It can be a wrenching ride, but the results are always worth it. Our plan remains the same, to repair the shell using as much of the original sheet metal as we can... trying to keep the "soul" of the car intact in some form.
