    Awesome to hear Ray. All things considered, I'm glad it's working out for you, it'd take me a year to get everything back together!

    I talked to the painter today when I checked out his body shop. Very nice guy. He thought the guy who owned the car was 20. LOL
    Anyway, he said he would have it 2 weeks. Stripping the panels down to bare metal, then acid etching primer. Then base and clear.
    He going to completely paint the frame rails for me.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    Well, like things are planned, they don't go off as planned. I went by the body shop today, and it's not in paint. He told me the dealership would have it back by next Friday.
    I went and saw the car, they are removing the front cradle to paint the side rails. I talked to him about a small dent I had in the other fender. He agreed to fix the fender and paint the whole front end.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!
