all of the panels have been prepped/primered. still have to worry about the gashes in the floor. the summer was not kind to the body shop and the owner was worried about having enough work to keep his paid guys working. so i'll give it another shot in a month or so. if it doesn't work out, there are other body shops on route 9, but i'd rather be where i know the people.

more work to follow in the engine bay. the rear bumper cover was replaced with a '91 and the front clip is likewise being replaced. since finding the holes in the floor, and wondering if the car is straight, we haven't gotten much work done.

i have seen the rise in interest in the third gen cars; seeing a custom selling for $18k on bj auctions was a welcome sight. rad rides is working on an '87, called the F87 Raptor. troy's major bone of contention with the cars is the amount of plastic both in the interior and on the exterior, so he's replacing all of it with sheet metal or aluminum.
