Yes. We put the front end on so we could align everything before we started the bodywork. Cleaned up the floor and recaulked it. Ill be stripping the fenders tomorrow.
Also, my brother was going to go with a metallic purple. Now he changed his mind, he wants Candy Apple Red with ghost flames. So, I spent a while on the phone making sure we were getting all of the right supplies.

Sounds like you are making some good progress! I think candy apple red and some very subtle ghost flames would be bad ass! Make sure to post up some updated pics when you can

Thanks, it is a solid car. Just a little more bondo then expected but I guess its better than rust or rot! Its still in progress but I havent taken pics in a while. We are having a little hood issue slowing down the process. It will see some F-body meets this summer :)
