On its way to the paint shop

I am replacing every piece of rubber, and most plastic in the car - wow, expensive but worth it. After sitting in a garage, not started for over 9 years, almost all of the soft material is shot! Lots of the plastic fittings on the vacuum system are as brittle as can be. Also, being terribly afraid of high pressure fuel systems and rotten fuel lines, there was no way I would not replace anything that is at all suspect. I'm sure I could have gotten along with some of the rubber bu t, if I'm going this far, better to go all the way. I will be posting pictures as I start the reassembly process when it comes back from the body shop.

thats a lot of love. looking forward to the end results!

That will be a great one to watch the progress of

Well, it's been almost 9 months! Similar to procreation of the human race I guess but, I just got the MY84 back from the body shop this past week. They did an excellent job. I decided to go with an '84 color - Ruby Red Metallic - and it looks fabulous! I have posted a couple of pictures here, taken with my cell phone, and will add some better ones when I break out the digital camera. Now the fun begins.

Looks great! I hope that the bumper covers were sprayed at the same time by the same painter...

Yes they were Wally. You're probably familiar with the shop -Magnum Collision in Marietta.
