Plus he's in a beautiful area!
Seriously though, its looking good, I'll have to stop by and check on it when I'm on that side of the bay.

haaa haaa, No doubt Steve. My shop was 4 blocks away 12 years ago. Had a loaded shotgun over my desk and everyone knew it was there.

Your welcome to stop by anytime.

My preference is to keep the rear seat. I've been dreaming of this car...and in the dream I'm cruisin the 1 with my family in it.

Rear seat delete + roll cage = track car. So why make the motor so street friendly?

Also, please don't go with the white and black stripes paintjob. That's for Euro racecars.

If you plan on putting the car for auction then most likely the person who's got the $ to buy it will simply add it to his/her collection and the car will be a garage queen so none of this will really matter other than appearance. If you put the car for raffle then I believe the average joe will want something for street use to include the rear seat. .02cents

the red roll cage looks sharp.

BB, its a tough call on the direction. Greg isn't a guy that rolls the dice on whats gonna go. Im sure he is losing a lot of beauty sleep on this one.

I guess the black and white goes with a Police theme as well...

Food for thought on the stripes though, I saw this on Car Warriors (go to 39.57 JIK) dry paint brushing.

looking good,That rear will look nice in satin black.

better check your DSE finishing tool, it might be set on harsh.

Looks pretty darn good! I hope mine comes out that clean, the media blaster gets credit too for leaving such a nice finish!

[Vince@Meanstreets]

so now that I have the body back I can get the clearance work done. The GMR is a hefty piece.

Hey what happened to Greg having to sand the car ???

Not to bad guys, mine seems to be to a little nicer except for my LT fender!! Which had WAY more filler then that qtr!!

Yikes! At least it was a fairly small area!
