OK, so over the past ten days, we managed to get the hood, doors, decklid and the bulk of the shell taken down to metal. The shell is actually really great-better than expected.
The hood had some obvious bondo in it, but it was pretty hammered when we got it stripped. The AWESOME news is that a guy named Kevin contacted me and had an NOS hood in his rafters that he was willing to GIVE to me--if I could get it down here from Washington state. I started asking around and one of Bay Auto Body's old partners was headed down from Seattle, so I was able to make a deal and get that hood coming.
The other crappy spot was the driver's door. It looked good in primer, but MAN it was hammered. I found a bullet hole, several creases and tons of poorly executed bodywork. Turner's Auto Wrecking in Fresno had a driver's door, so that's on the way now. Everything else looks salvageable.
The intake piping got started last weekend, but I ran out of time and this week has been nuts at the shop, so it will be this weekend before I can get back to it.
