Entry 10: 9/8/2022

Been a while. Got the car to the body shop in July. Not much progress so far.

Was quoted 15,000 for the following:

1) Smooth firewall
2) Repair drivers side cowl section
3) Strip car to bare metal
4) Paint engine bay (flat black)
5) Reassemble (sheet metal)
6) Get car in sealer/primer and paint behind panels. Car isn't coming apart ever again so I'm having them spray behind panels

I have all factory panels, hardware, shims. I did purchase an OEM 1976 front bumper that is in better shape than mine. Also bought a new core support, door hinges...but everything is there; bagged and tagged.

I try to stop in once every few weeks to grab some photos but I don't like to linger and bother the guys. I'm usually in and out in about 5 mins.

As of last Friday they started work on the firewall and removed the damaged drivers side cowl section. I'd have to guess it won't get stripped until late November.
