1969 Road Runner Convertible PROJECT

[chapdog105]

Just got the car back from the sandblast shop. It will be heading to the body shop in about 5-6 weeks. Look as if my body guy has his work cut out for him....
Thought I'd add some recent pics of the work I've done, because I know how much you fellas love pictures.

Wow, the guy sand blasted the whole roof off :jester: Its nice to make progress isn't it :cheers:

SHES GOING TO BE SWEET....BIG JOB RIGHT??....YOU DOING ALL THE WORK OR ARE YOU FARMING IT OUT??

 

[chapdog105]

It is awesome to see progress!!!!

The sandblast job is the first real money I've had to spend on the car so far. One step at a time...

I will be farming out all the body and paint. I'm a 31 year old school principal with 3 kids and 8 credits this semester of grad school. I don't have the time, knowledge, or experience to tackle the body and paint. I found a great body guy that's affordable and reputable. It will take a while for him to get it put together, but that's okay because I can't really afford to tackle the entire car at one time anyway. The car is heading his way in about a month, and he'll have it for about 2 months.
